Uhm, twisted my ankle and literally fell on the streets and got myself knee wounds. Weirdly enough, when I was down and gauging if i twisted my ankle real bad, or if i can still stand...the one thought that came to mind was: Gee, am like a child again...

True enough, it's been decades since I was literally down on my knees because i tripped or fell. But I welcome the humbling reminder that just some 3 years or so ago, I was also spiritually down on my knees and ready to have my life end, right there and then... and of course, the realization that i'm a happier person now and that i've weathered the greatest pain and loss of my life (yet).

The incident also brings to mind something Stephen King wrote in his novel, IT.... something about how, we have to be children first and keep tripping and get wounded.... to prepare ourselves for the bigger challenges, the greater pains of adulthood. Also, to teach us early about humility...and getting back up....
