Julia Kasdorf offers a bit of advice, the kind of counsel many of us received and later learned to appreciate as a routine part of education by elders in our schools.
But now that I’m out here,
his advice comes so clear: fling yourself
farther, and a bit farther each time,
but darling, don’t drop.
Thanks, Julia, for reminding me of a part of my education I too easily set aside and fail to encourage for the next generation.
