Benn there, done that  Smiley Very Happy
The slide from grace is really more like gliding
And I've found the trick is not to stop the sliding
But to find a graceful way of staying slid

I don't know if I'm more bothered by the thought of how long that will take, or by the affront to my Libran need for balance. It's kinda pretty, though, I have to admit. Smiley Wink
