My son and I were taking a child-directed walk recently. And my little guy was using a stick to "weedwack" the grass (he loves this kind of imaginary play so much that maybe he'll have a lawn care business when he grows up, haha).
So he's buzzing away happily like a happy worker bee - quite literally making buzzing noises with his mouth - and he slowly meandered over to a clump of trees. And THEN he did something that made my heart pound.
He clamored up onto a little ivy-covered hill about two feet high.... and LEAPED forward into the air...grabbed a low-lying tree branch like a monkey... swung there for a few moments... and then let go in a perfect dismount!
I was stunned.
He's two. Two going on three.
While I stood there flabbergasted, he proceeded to climb the little hill again, leap for the branch, swing, then dismount. He did this 10 times in a row with only one fall. He had a blast!
How freeing it is to be fearless! To know that “I will do it; I have to do it; I have the means to do it.”
Fearlessness is an essential prerequisite for attaining enlightenment. Great are those who are always fearless. To be completely free from all fears is one step on the path of enlightenment.
My son shows this kind of fearlessness. If I had admonished him and made him afraid, he might not have taken the leap.
To cement this topic of "Taking the leap"...
The other day, I did a reading for a young lady. Her dog and her grandmother in spirit came through and she was delighted, but then she asked, "what does my grandmother think about what I am doing?" The grandmother indicated that:
Bottomline: Each day, I learning to respect "THE LEAP" for myself and for others, and most importantly to heed its' call. When you feel the amazing combination of intuition, fearlessness, and faith - TAKE THE LEAP. We each have the greatest safety net - it is sometimes called the Universe, God, and the Divine. Be fearless.

- the young lady is traveling to another country (she verified that she was leaving for Ecuador in a few days)
- and that she is surprised that her granddaughter isn't worried about knowing the language (she is not worried)
- and that the granddaughter doesn't know when she will be returning home (she is going for one year to teach abroad so she does not know her date of return)
- and that many people are trying to talk her out of the trip, but she feels that she MUST go (she said her family and friends are attempting to strongly discourage her)
