sorry mom… but it was worth it.

like a bird....

Pure Flight

3….2….1… I did not think, I jumped. The first 2 seconds my intestines were up in my throat, and then it happened, something I was told about but did not expect. Trascendence. Not in deity or superiority, but in the moment. It was as if all was gone, stripped away and all I was – was. I cannot seem to adequately describe the feeling in words, but it was an emotionally spiritual moment. There was peace and no fear.

When I was brought back to the top, I was almost in tears, an emotional high brought forth from the endorphines and adrenaline pumping through my arteries. If heaven is captured in that moment, I would want to stay in it forever.

    Oh, man, that’s a feeling I’ve always wanted. Jennie thinks I’m absolutely crazy, but experiencing freefall is not just something I think would be fun, I long for it. Based on your description, I think my longings are justified.

    What’s up with the new (405) area code?

    ahhh, yes… you need to try. new number is a long story, but suffice to say Alltell is an awful carrier and it was cheaper to cancel that service then spend another month with them… back to cingular… and there is a 90% chance I will be back in OKC for a year starting in August. I have an interview on April 17th, so we will see what happens.
