The fertility of the older mind

This is what I love about circus training. When you fail, you fall down. Or worse: you collapse on your partner.

If you can learn to handstand on someone else's hands without, you can do just about anything.

The point being: you have to just go for it. You WILL fail at some point, in any and every endeavor.

But the reward is that you might just be doing a handstand on another person :)

I find this mindset both admirable and deeply troubling, of people who feel that being able to do a handstand on another person is a worthwhile trade-off for the considerable risk of injury to yourself and the other person.
