Leap of faith…

Jump, leap, fall or fly … taking the leap of faith & believing in one’s ability to land, tread water, experience the plunge & swim to safety.

Temperatures can be chilly but the exhilarating experience of survival & maybe the flight, was worth it.

Now, I recall when Osian, my son took this leap .. he considered, watched, wondered, stepped back & reconsidered for many an hour, or so it felt.

The beauty was that he wasn’t pushed, he had the time to prepare, he so wanted to experience the plunge & the preparation of the mind, I believe was important to Osian. I suspect he hadn’t prepared to put his arms out in flight mode & that was instinct.

In life, we don’t always have the time to prepare & circumstances can push us over the edge, like a bolt from nowhere… oooooh over we go.

Instinct kicks in, we steady ourselves, hold our nerve & the plunge into darkness occurs… leaving us wondering where that came from

& where is the safety net, the boat, the life jacket .

Have faith that the leap or unexpected fall will pull on natural instincts to balance, gracefully enter the water & locate the safety net.

So, the next fall .. have faith.

If considering what feels like a gigantic leap or a mini jump … be mindful, you may even FLY

Wishing you flight & faith
