[Minute of Mindfulness/ I'm going to think on this Zen proverb: "You should sit in meditation for twenty minutes a day.  Unless you're too busy; then you should sit for an hour."]

JOURNAL TOPIC: [today's tune: "Jump" by Van Halen]

You thought you wanted to do this, but now you're not sure.  The small plane doesn't feel like anything you've ever experienced.  There is just a thin sheet of metal between your feet... and nothing.  Just thousands of feet of empty space to the Earth below.  You stand up as the experienced skydiver next to you yells, "You're next!"  Every bump makes your knees weak.  Your stomach feels like it wants to live in your throat.  You're numb, but you move toward the open door.  Suddenly the wind whips at your hand and this is all suddenly too real.

What do you do next?  Will you sit back down or will you take the leap?  Describe your actions in detail.
