One small step

One of the teens that currently share starring roles in my life recently dodged a bullet.

Let it just be said that there has been much worrying and hand wringing in the Trollhouse for the past few days, but things are much better now.

Still, his life shall be much changed.

I have said before that you can lead a child to knowledge, but you can’t make him think. I hope that after what happened he thinks things over hard and well. It only takes one small step off a bridge to fall a great deal, and for some strange reason, it is always a long way to climb back from once that initial step is taken.

Gravity works.
