Beneath me is the chiseled cliffside and the sun-baked rock who shares its warmth with my feet. Above me sings the breeze its song of freedom, tickling my ears with its spirited dance. And ahead of me lies an eternal expanse of blue, whose mystique pulls at something deep inside me, a part that cannot be seen, only felt. I hear the war drums pounding in my chest and I know—it's time.
My eyes fixate on a point over the edge. No fear. No hesitation. The muscles in my legs tense, then explode forth with a burst of energy. The ground below me is gone, now behind me. My body arcs and twirls as I sail through salty air. My fur billows in the wind and I plunge down, down, down.
The sea opens its arms to welcome me, wrapping my body in its cool, wet embrace. I kick my way up to the surface, rolling idyllically onto my back. There I let myself float peacefully on the ocean waves, waiting for the thirst of adventure to return so that I might leap again.
