Life is terminal

(Bob and I with a level 3 AFF student, in the early 1990's, over Skydive Colorado.)


Let go of everything you think you know

Let go of your imagined self, watch it grow smaller

as it plummets toward the inevitable


Let go of life, yes, that too

Feel the air flowing between your fingers

Stretching the skin of your face

into a grin


Seconds left to live

All the time in the world

All you’ll ever need


fall
free
just
let

go
