Vids

Video #1: Skydiving

In high school I told my friend Axel that if I ever did go skydiving it would definitely not be for the thrill but instead to experience the reality of air as matter.  Later I decided I could probably experience 'air as matter' just as well by sticking my hand out a car window and promptly decided I would never do it.

Well, we went to New Zealand which happens to be the skydiving capital of the world and I happen to have an adventure seeking husband who I absolutely adore and who somehow convinced me (more like coerced) me into jumping.

I tried everything I could to convince myself it should be a peaceful experience.  But alas I was absolutely petrified when the hour arrived; to the point that I cried walking to and while on the plane.

Brave Sam jumped first, meanwhile I started to chant "this is insane, why am I doing this?" as my legs were dangling out of the door of the plane. I was in total hysterics as somehow my body moved from inside the plane to outside in the empty air. I literally screamed louder than I ever have in my entire life (think horror movie), in fact my throat still hurts a week later. Finally after a few seconds of free-fall I realized I was still conscious and that floating above the earth was actually an extraordinary experience after all.

Everybody else in our group had the experience I would have hoped for- absolutely no fear, a serene free-fall, and that was that. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE.

Anyway, it was a memorable event to say the least but I am happy and proud to say I have not come away with any new complexes as I feared and in retrospect I enjoyed the experience.

We invite you to enjoy this lovely video on facebook and disregard the bizarre music as chosen by my eccentric husband.
