The combination of breathtaking scenery from afar and Nik's
wire-walking skills shown up close is
amazing. His father's soothing voice
is guiding him along and supporting
Nik as he conquers the fierce winds
and the desert heat. As Nik approaches the finish line, he begins a jaunty
and confident run toward his waiting
family. And, finally, we all let out that
giant breath we had been holding for
the past 22 minutes.
I know that Nik Wallenda is at the
pinnacle of his profession as an aerialist, but I would also like to imagine
that his mom's beautiful handmade
shoes had a special magic in them to
keep him safe.
Congratulations, Nik! You were
fantastic. %
