Just once in your life,….JUMP!

It took me 47 years before I jumped!

I stood on that cliff,…

I stood, and I watched,…

And I wished,.. wished for the courage,…

I stood,…and I waited,…

Waited,.,..and waited for the right time,…

I stood,…and I dreamed,…

Dreamed,…and dreamed about EVERYTHING I want to do,.to be,.to have,…

Finally,…. FINALLY,….that moment came,…

THAT moment,….when I couldn’t stand it anymore!,…

Couldn’t stand,….the pain of lost dreams, wishing…

Couldn’t stand,….the pain of lost time waiting,…

Couldn’t stand,…the pain of losing myself, dreaming,…

So,.. I,…JUMPED!

I hit a boulder (got divorced),…

I hit the edge and cut myself (moved to another state without my kids),…

I bumped along some rocks (floundered for a few years)

But then,….my parachute started to tug,….started to pull a little,…

I can FEEL it,…. it’s starting to open up,….

I KNOW until it is fully open,.. there will be a few more bumps,,..

You know what?,…. I’m good with that,…

I found MY gift,….it is tickling the very edges of my soul,….

I found MY gift,…it will be bigger than I EVER dreamed,…

I found MY gift,….it is MORE than I EVER imagined!!,.…..

I AM at the beginning of my flight,.. and let me tell you something,…

The view,…the view is,…

FUCKING SPECTACULAR!!!!

Can I tell you something else?,…

May I add a little interjection here?,…

You,…yes,..YOU,…Y-O-U,…can be here TOO!

The edge is nice,.. safe,… comfortable,…

BORING!!!,…

jump,…JUMP,…J-U-M-P,….
