A flimsy old rope bride strung high up in the canopy of the forest. A bridge that as you look out across it you aren't fully able to see what's awaiting you on the other side. As you take your first step out onto the bridge you feel it sway under your foot and you begin to feel uncertain. The thought that maybe this isn't a good idea shoots through your head. Your heart begins to race as your hands become sweaty. You feel a knot in your stomach. You take one more step and the bridge begins to sway again. You feel like you are about to lose your balance but you quickly regain your composure. You take a glance over your shoulder back to the safety in which you just left. You think about turning back, but your curiosity gets the best of you. As you slowly inch your way forward you begin to feel the cool mist that surrounds you as it settles on your face. You begin to be engulfed by this new world as you slowly move forward. You catch yourself looking down unable to see the forest floor through the thick foliage and it brings an eerie sense of calm to you. The smell of last nights rain fall lingers in your nose and the sounds of birds in the distance ring through your ears. The rope scratches at your hands as you make your way along the bridge. With only a few steps to go you begin to feel at ease in your new surroundings. All your trepidations turn to excitement as your eyes gaze upon your destination.
