Gentle Pure Space

If you can think of it, there is probably a Flickr group about it. I loved looking at this Flickr set of people jumping off swings. Jumping off of a swing is one of the most exhilarating feelings in the world. It was my favorite thing to do in a park. The build up as you work your way to a suitable speed and height. Those few swings where you almost jump, but hesitate and go back for another pump. And finally the release…your arms fling up in freedom as the earth and your body part ways. If you time your release just right, for a couple seconds, you feel like you are flying. I have the urge to feel that again.
