Leaping

I passed a colorful, whimsically painted van today. It went by too quickly to tell if it was for a business or just sending a message to the world. It said:

Leap and the net will follow.”

Hmmmm.

On the surface, that is a cool concept. Take chances. Don’t always play it safe. Sort of what Mark Twain is saying over there to the right.

I am a firm believer in not always taking the simple and cautious path. I want to grow all the time and live a full life. Not reckless, mind you. Just…not so guarded that I am one-dimensional.

But I don’t know if this would work for me if I were, say, in an airplane. Even if one that was still on the ground.

I can’t decide if it is inspirational or insane. If I am a scaredy cat hypocrite or sensible.

How do you feel about leaping?
