In this whimsical story, a tightrope walker must balance more than just his body as he faces changes in his life that threaten his way of and embraces the lessons he has learned from the world around him. Once, there was a tightrope walker. For forty years, he traveled the world in wind-colored clothing and a bright red bandana, never staying in one town for more than a day. At each new place, he would pluck a single strand of his impossibly long hair and walk across it, with balance, courage, faith, and grace. As the years went on, he noticed his hair growing thinner and thinner. He sought every remedy, but nothing worked to replace the many hairs he had pulled out. The more he performed, the fewer there were until not one remained and the tightrope walker had to find a whole new way to touch the sky. "The world is a very narrow bridge. The secret is not to be afraid." --Rabbi Nachman of Breslov
