CATCHER: I can only fly freely when I know there is a catcher to catch me. If we are to take risks, to be free, in the air, in life, we have to know that when we come down from it all, we’re going to be caught; we’re going to be safe. The great hero is the least visible. Trust the Catcher, Henri J. M. Nouwen.
