Standing on a suspended bridge between a gorge, 160 meters
above a river that has a mind of its own. Your emotions jump from one scale to
another unsure of what to feel. Standing on the edge preparing for a free-fall
with the harness clasped to your upper body and feet, you are now ready for a
raw performance.
The world will cease to exist. The people on the bridge
disappear, the steep gorge no longer exists and your feet are no longer
desperately holding on to the steel that consists of the bridge. The water
gushing seems to furiously lash out at you.
Emotions are no longer influenced or masked. They are bare-
your screams, your fear, your excitement! Those split seconds is an
introduction to the real you. The performance was not for the world to see but
for you to experience.
After your feet find grounds, the surroundings instantly
come to existence. The river no longer seems angry. Gradually you are aware of
the dry heat beating on your bare arms and legs. The mighty hills make their
presence felt. Its size and height intimidate you. Yet you feel powerful and
invincible momentarily.
After that, you are back to emotions caked with make up.
