Zen of the big, scary leap

Tontozona, hiking near Payson, Arizona, originally uploaded by RobinJP.

What a beautiful spot.

I took this shot while I was procrastinating. I was standing on a very jagged rock about to jump across the stream to another rock.

For some reason, I felt stuck. Sue (who has two artificial knees) had already hopped across and was waiting on the other side. She was looking back at me, very bemused by my inaction.

Seeing this photo now makes me think I should have just taken a seat and enjoyed the moment a little longer.  But I jumped. And I made it.
