About two years ago I went to the tour of the Banff Film Festival here in Albuquerque, which is a film festival dedicated to the documentation of extreme sports. The videos featured each year vary from cyclists, to fly fishers, to rock climbers. The film I found particularly fascinating was about three base jumpers and their journey to do one of the biggest jumps of their careers. Watching them hold on to a cable that was stretched across the top of an enormous cave depression, I couldn't fathom how much strength it would take to simply let go of the cable and fall. To my amazement, one by one, each of the jumpers let go, fell, and successfully deployed their parachutes. Their story inspires me to be at peace with my life and death, and to let go in order to have the most experience-enriched life possible.
