The Valor of "flamenca"





Everyone has fears, some of them insurmountable. Today I was crippled and frozen by those fears. Looking back on today, I found that it related to an experience I had as a 3rd grader. I grew up near the Royal Gorge Bridge in Canon City, Colorado. As 3rd grader Kate crossed this 1053' high suspension bridge, I was terrified that I would slip through the 1" spaces in between the slats of wood. Of course this fear was entirely illogical, but I still experience these. Once there is a trigger to dissipate these fears, I know and can feel that there was no danger the entire time. "flamenca" is a trigger.
