I was hanging nose down thirty feet in the air, my fingers wrapped around the cord that could send me plummeting toward the ground. For a brief moment I looked down and thought, "What am I doing??" But that thought was quickly replaced by, "This is going to be AWESOME!!" I called out, "Pulling!" Jerked my hand foreward and heard the click.
I soared downward as the ground rushed up to meet me in a brief moment of freefall before the belay cable of the giant swing caught and swung me upward like a massive pendulum. I was flying, quite literally, by the seat of my pants. What a rush!
Such is a leap of faith. And as I stand here in the security line, I feel as if my fingers are wrapped around another cord. Same thought process, but this time I'm expecting even better results because I'm on belay with the King of the Universe.
Guatemala, here we come! Journey on!
