If I Could, I Certainly Would

An honest thought...

a number of years ago i challenged myself to jump out of a plane, it was something i always wanted to do and no one i knew had ever done it. a new friend of mine was telling me that she was about to go for her first jump. she asked me to describe the experience and we both laughed as i described my anxiety over jumping... it was horrifying but when i finally peeled my fingers off the side of the plane and flung myself outward and when the shute 'finally' opened, it was the most peaceful time i have ever experienced... what a contrast to the moment before.

i wonder if birds ever fly just for fun? if i could, i certainly would.
