I really liked that Philippe was able to temporarily avoid capture and get the most out of his high wire walk. Every time I've ever gotten into trouble, I had to stop what I was doing immediately or get into more trouble!
What I'd like to explore--I'd like to know the judge's name! That was a great punishment!
I think going the other way and saying "Who is going to come after me?" was a great response to the police showing up. He's a quick thinker!
ReplyDeleteI agree it was a fitting decision; I'll bet the judge watched as intently as anyone that morning.
ReplyDeleteIt's like somebody building a barn with hand-tools. You can not just grab the tools and start working. You have to understand the tools, and learn how to sharpen them and how to hold them correctly. All that is almost a humble way of starting to understand the media that you have settled on. So, if you wanted to be a wire-walker, I would start by learning about ropes, cables and rigging on your own. You don't have to wait to find teachers.
ReplyDeleteEileen--sounds familiar . . .
