Fall (Feb. 25)

Have you ever seen someone fall? A mother might rush to the side of a child who has taken a fall to see if they are injured in any way and this should serve as an example of the way we are all to respond in the instance where we witness someone fall. A particular ski area has signs up at the bottom of the mountain by their lifts which read, "Make a friend on the lift, help a friend who falls on the slopes." There are times in life where we are all going to fall. Soemtimes there might be physical pain that needs to be looked after and even more times than this there are going to be emotional falls in life. It is very important that there are firends there to pick you up during these times. Like the particular ski area signs imply, anyone can be a friend as long as you are simply someone who is there in the moment. It does not take a long history of shared experience just presence. So remember when you see others fall, there will come a time when might need a friend so be a friend to others first.
