Jump In

Local Costa Rican, soon to be wet, at loading pier for ferry to Montezuma.

Jump in
1/28/10

Seen as this if 'voluntary'
even if there is apprehension,
'involuntary' feels like thrown in,
either way finds me wet
swimming in pool, totally enveloped,
but in ocean, or river
instead of calm, contained water
there is different skill set
called upon to stay afloat
which includes a concentrated focus
able to perceive 360 degrees
around center of my being,
and many life situations resemble
all encompassing act of submersion
when taking leap into unknown
risking conceptual security for what,
the chance for self improvement,
some break to catapult career,
or engage possible love relations,
no matter intention, it's same,
one must overcome any fear,
be willing to embrace courage,
endure the injury, or hardship
teaching life lessons along way,
if I come up short
where flying turns into falling,
losing control in changing world,
then with expanded, joyful attitude,
I jump in, when pushed.
