First you climbed up the tree to a platform, about 2 ft. x 3 ft. in size and about 15-20 ft. in the air. You straddled the 2x4 that was balancing in a loop at the end of the rope -- yes the board did occasionally come out and plummet to the ground. Then you leaned way back and pushed off to your left and away you went.
This was an absolute blast -- after about the second or third time. The first time was intimidating -- you want me to do WHAT? I can't do that! What if I fall? What if I let go of the rope? What if, what if, what if?
Just push yourself off and let yourself go. It's fun!!! Boy, from my vantage point the first time, fun did not seem like a logical conclusion.

The first time was far from fun. I was terrified. After much threatening and encouraging, I finally took the plunge. The first few seconds were unbelievably horrible, then the rush of excitement took over, and wow! It was awesome!
So is letting go of the hurts that are overwhelming me the same? Is it terrifying and painful at first and then worth it in the long run? I don't know. I just know I'm not ready to find out. I want to stop hurting, I just don't want to let go.
