Ain't got wings.... Comin' down is the hardest thing....



I found this on Youtube.com. (And let's be honest, what isn't on youtube these days??)

It's two of my favorite artists, Mat Kearney and Matt Nathanson, trying to finesse their way through a cover of Tom Petty's Learning to Fly.

Thing is, there was something so perfect about it. So perfect about how I'm feeling and how much I love those guys and that song even if they did butcher it just a little bit.

Isn't that really what life is about? Learning to fly?

We crash and we dust ourselves off and we try again.

And, honestly, you'll be hard pressed to find more truth than "Comin' down is the hardest thing..."

Except perhaps finding the courage to keep on crashing... That's even more difficult.

thang is...some people have to spend days crawling back up, only to fall again, and some people get boosted right back up, and some people just can't recover enough to do more than wallow around on the ground...the last phenomena is never more clearly illuminated than in the world of musicians...
Anyway....knitters can fall softly and rip back, and it is a quiet affair. Maybe that is why we knit, to learn to fall more gracefully
