Wow. In case you ever wondered?

What if you actually tried to jump off the Golden Gate Bridge?

Quickly and without effort I am perched on the rail, left arm gripping the beam beside me, right hand on the rail below, feet slightly swinging over water. Nothing between me and water now. Everything between me and the water below. I am coaching myself in my head. Thirty more years of the same? Is that really what you want, Sam? Isn’t it time? And I am not unconvinced. But there is as if a wall, and I can no more break through it with my weak flesh and soft bone than I can slip off this rail into the air.

First part of five. Man. I have to give props to the blogger for just putting this to print.

Thank you -- a fantastically good series.

I haven't quite been there. Close. I'm a lot further away now, but it's good to be reminded.
