Jumpty Dumpty (or why I love jump shots enough to ignore the possibility of asthma attacks)

"Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall." 
~ Ray Bradbury


There is something about jumping that makes you feel good. The thrill as you get ready to take off, the exhilaration during that fleeting moment of defying gravity. It is an awesome feeling and it's better when the experience is shared. But the best thing about jumping is that it can be captured, and the "high", no matter how fleeting, can be relived over and over again.

You stay off-ground longer when your fingers are pointy. Not.

You could do anything...

cheerdancing...

street fighting...
TV commercials...
hanging out...

witchcraft...

People Power...

growing up...

being happy...

flying.

Live, laugh, jump!

Feel the "unbearable lightness of being."


When you're gray and old and have brittle joints, you'd wish you jumped higher, you'd wish you jumped more. But then all you have to do is look at these images, of you and your friends suspended forever in time and space.
You do? Weh, di nga?
