I rendezvous with the long wire and perform the 'torero walk', gliding my feet, holding the pole away from my body, head high.

I walk on the wire; it's my profession, and there are no two high wire walks alike.

On a very long and very high wire, I will not hope to not be blown off by high winds. I will have the certitude that such could not happen.

As a high wire walker, I do not allow myself to 'leave the wire' during a performance.

Usually, when I walk on a wire, I inspect the anchor point on both sides before crossing.

It is treacherous on a high wire to change your focus point and suddenly look down.
