This must be a glorious feeling as you coast in home.
Pulling down on the left handles to maneuver in the landing approach.
Like a puppet on a string, well a couple of strings.

I went skydiving in Taupo, New Zealand, and it was my first parachute jump. Skydiving has never been an experience I was desperate to do, or had even given a passing thought to, but you know, as they say, when in New Zealand…
And so I found myself with a bunch of strangers about to jump 15,000ft into thin air above the stunning Lake Taupo, which from that distance looked like a mere pond on the horizon of tiny looking things.

There was no anxiety, and no tension. I was utterly devoid of pain, grief, and worry. I felt no affliction of the mind or the soul. I looked out upon that beautiful earth and was surprised to feel complete peace within myself. In that moment, I owned the world. I could feel the cool air on my face with the speed of more than 200 mph as if it was welcoming me.

I've always wanted to try this. It stubbornly remains on my bucket list. I need to set a deadline of getting it ticked. Although I'm coming to the conclusion that maybe one of those tandem skydives and chute falls might be less scary!

This looks so adventurous. How do you get the courage to jump? We have para-sailed before and love the floating feeling but I do not think we would ever have the courage to jump before the floating feeling-running is scary enough!

I'm always amazed at any kind of sky diving or parachute jumping or anything from a height! Never done this and it's not on my list. However it's a dream, my 81 year old sister has! You never know until you try.
