the unfolding

I get up, and nothin’ gets me down
You got it tough, I’ve seen the toughest around
And I know, baby, just how you feel
You got to roll with the punches and get to what’s real…

Ah, might as well jump. Jump!
Might as well jump
Go ahead an’ jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump 

Ow-oh! Hey, you! Who said that? Baby, how you been?
You say you don’t know, you won’t know until you begin…

Ah, might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump
Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump
Jump!… 

Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!

and so he did…over and over again on our most recent venture to the sand pits.

it is so good to see him play, risk, adventure, radiating life.

when does this stop being our natural and preferred tendency.

when do we start calculating the cost of jumping and concluding it is not worth the energy…or when do we lose the energy to do so?

“we may not land right, get it quite right, or the outcome may not be quantifiable or productive”…

might as well jump!
