Honoring My Wild Side

Oh, wild side of me. Pushing me to face my fears. Skydiving was the new adventure. Day before the jump, butterflies in the stomach. I woke up several times. I jumped over and over in my mind. Concentrating on my breathing; It kept me relaxed. It's now or never! Said, my wild side. I literally putted myself, in the hands of God’s and my instructor’s. Things were not as I had imagined. It was not a great fall into the void, somehow the winds hold us up. I felt like a bird for a few minutes. What an incredible feeling of freedom and peace. Especially, when the parachute opens. Beautiful view from above. I honor my wild side, It empowers me. Fills me with self-confidence. Test passed.
