I'm Going to Do It!

I'm Going to Do It! Yup! I'm Taking a Leap of Faith! I'm Going to Jump Off a Cliff! This past weekend, I went for my usual hike on the trails atop the cliffs that border the shore, near where I live. The vistas on this well-traveled hike of mine are so beautiful, so sweeping and grand, that I always find soothing comfort in them. As I hike along the trail, I stop at all my little “landmarks” along the way, checking on the changes that have occurred since my last sojourn. There's some new cactus flowers on that plant; over here, a new sage rush nest; and over there, a new lizard's hole. Simply bearing witness to Life-in-progress. At least, that was how this weekend's hike started out. Until I reached the high point on the cliffs, some 300 ft above the ocean. The sky this day was brilliant blue, the tide was low, the sun beating down and heating up the expanse of beach below, a mild cool breeze was blowing in off the ocean and up the cliffs. The weather conditions were perfect! …. for gliding!  And that is what I came upon! Literally dozens and dozens of people, lining up and launching themselves into the wind from the cliff top, on para-sails, hang gliders, ultra-lights and sail planes!!!!!  I marveled at the way they would first dip down below the cliff top, and turn ever so slightly to parallel the cliff side, racing no more than 20 ft out from the face, gaining speed and momentum as they did. Then, they would head out over the ocean, to catch the updraft, and spiral gracefully up, up up, until they were about 500 ft above the top of the cliffs! Now, here's the best part. Once up at that height, they would turn one more time, and soar for miles in a straight line up the coast, sailing effortlessly over the cliff and beach below, before turning to return again. But, once reaching the launch point, they would continue down the beach in the opposite direction for another few miles. I spent the next few hours sitting in silent wonder as I watched this grand spectacle, the parade of brightly colored sails, all in a line up and down the coast, drifting along on the invisible thermals. I was in awe as I tried to imagine the sensations all these people were experiencing. Then, it struck me! I could sit here, with my feet firmly planted on the ground, right where they have always been, bearing witness to Life as it unfolded in front of me, as merely an observer, a silent spectator, as I was now doing! Orrrrrr, I could screw up my courage, and take a Leap of Faith! In the process, become a participant of Life! What's the worse that can happen? I could end up as a splat on the cliff side, like Wile Coyote in the Road Runner cartoons! But, I would have experienced one of the most exhilarating moments of my Life in the process! I could crash in the ocean, get swallowed by a whale, and stay in its belly until I get spit out on some distant shore in a foreign country, on a whole other continent, somewhere! But, that would simply be the first part of another journey, right?!!! The best that could happen? I would feel first hand, what it is like to soar among the clouds!  So, I've now resolved, before my next birthday, I'm going to do this! I'm going to ... Take a Leap of Faith! |
