my cape has tiny red pom-poms on the bottom.
I am afraid of heights. Deeply. They make me shake. A diving board is too high for me.And yet, I’ve long wanted to experience the letting go that comes with trapeze, particularly after reading Sam Keen’s writing on trapeze.
And so, at 5pm on February 29th (Leap Day), I’ll climb up high and let go.
I hope if you’re in the San Diego area, you might come with me.
I’ll be working in San Diego for the Boy Scouts of America the day before, and spending the morning of Leap Day doing a community service project with the Boy Scouts at a center for youth with developmental disabilities.
And then I will fly, my little cape with tiny red pom-poms soaring behind me.
Fly with me. Leap.
What will your leap on Leap Day look like?
