7/18/2004: Will you jump off a plane...

...if you knew for certain you were going to fall flat and hard on the ground? Surely you wouldn't. You would rather just know that one of 2 things can happen: (1) you will fall flat and hard on the ground, very fatal; or (2) the parachute will launch, cooperate, and give you a safe landing, very fortunate.

Either way it is going to give you about 60 seconds of amazing free fall, exhilirating views and a liberating sense of release. Release! That's what we need most of all. And so you would choose to jump into the sky's infinite unknown, because whether you end up falling fatally hard or flying like you had your own wings, either way you have learned to embrace the truth.
