Oh, Dear Squirrel, racing along the twisting branches high among the tallest of oaks, leaping from tree to tree across the air without hesitation Are you not afraid of missing a steady branch your estimations a wee bit off? or worse. . . the branch not able to sustain you at all? and breaking - prompting a long, treacherous fall? Has this happened to you, Dear Squirrel? If so - How do you manage? to continue climbing back up on the highest of trees and repeating the feat? I mean it must seem like the ground is light years away from your place so high in the sky, Do you look down? or keep your eyes on the road intent on your destination? Please tell me dear squirrel, how do you do it? What's your fear busting secret? For I desire to fly like you across the sky from tree to tree with the bravery of a squirrel. draft 2022 Shari Daniels
