Posted by Michelle Angelini on 06/03/07 at 03:28 AM Sometimes jumping is the scariest thing of all, even when the ground is only down the next stair. I have a card (oh, it's somewhere around here buried in the junk) that says, "Serenity isn't peace apart from the storm, but peace amidst the storm" (or something similar to that). It's when the black-and-white thinking of life gets to us that we need to remember the shades of gray, setting us apart from other people. We can be unique in our feelings - and then jumping, no matter what it is, becomes less of an ordeal. It appears you've stated this in the situations you present in the poem.
