In life, as in skiing, falling
is inevitable.
We have those disagreements
with our spouses. We get stopped
for moving violations. WeÕre
challenged by raising children.
We make decisions we wish we
could recall. But a fall Ñ one
of those moral and spiritual
blunders we all make from time
to time Ñ doesnÕt constitute a
failure unless we let it. Getting
back up is a part of every falling
experience.
In this thoughtful, helpful
book, Merrill makes the ski slopes
his metaphor, and includes a
charming collection of personal
anecdotes to illustrate just how
uplifting falling can be.
