Why do we fall?
I watched batman begins again recently and it reminded me of my basketball game last Sunday…
It was my first league game in like 10 years, so I was pretty nervous. I missed my first four shots, but went on to score 21 points by the time I wanted to get a big block on a fast break at the end of the game. I had the dude perfectly lined up so I jumped with my eye on the ball and where it was going to go. Unfortunately, I didn’t see the mesh and my fingers got caught. I must have lost a couple of brain cells when I landed on my shoulder and head. It reminded me when I was learning to do a backflip from a roundoff and landed on my head. I saw stars for a bit, wiggled my toes, and fingers so I knew I was OK. I got up, shook my head, ran down for the court, called for the ball, and scored my 22nd and 23rd points. We were up by 11 with less than a minute to go.
Quoting Bruce Wayne’s pops, “Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.”
