The Unseen Menace

 

It has never been about good and evil, or right verses wrong.  The true battle begins when we are toddlers.  Baby’s first steps begins the lifelong struggle with gravity.  That invisible force pulling us to the ground.  Parents laugh and snicker as infants attempt their first steps.  But look around the room.  You’ll not see the grandparents laughing.  They know firsthand the power the unseen menace has over life.
We install handrails, build ramps, design walkers and canes to aid in this ongoing battle.  It is, however, a battle we cannot win.  The best we can ever hope for is for a friend or family member to point and say, “Hey, your shoe’s untied.”
