It's not enough to know how to ride. We must also know how to fall.

When we try to live life without fear, we aren't living.  And when we act as if we aren't fearful in this experience called life, we are lying.  We fear things in life because they hurt, because we've had a bad experience before, because we don't want to make mistakes, and because any number of reasons that are logical and illogical and all valid. Living life leads to blisters on our hearts, bruises on our souls, and holes in our spirits.  We stumble and fall because of our own mistakes.  We crash to the ground because we are pushed by others.  We may even find ourselves sitting in a pile of manure (yep, that happens when you ride horses, too).
We fall.  It's a rule of life.  If you're living, you will fall.  And when we fall, just fall.  Sit for a moment. Cry if you need to cry.  Be stunned and shocked if you need that, too.  Falling hurts much of the time, so be still and know.  Feel your bones and soul.  Let them heal if need be. Stretch to see what hurts and what doesn't.  Then, when you feel ready, take a deep breath.

And get up.  Your soul is waiting to ride the Holy Spirit.  She wants to soar and gallop with you in life.

So saddle up with fear, because she's there.  And saddle up with love and courage, because so are they.

And ride.  And fall.

In living life, it is not enough to know how to ride.  We must also know how to fall.
