Maasai Men CAN Jump!

I'll never forget the grace and enthusiasm and athleticism of these young morans as they danced and chanted and jumped. You could tell it was more than just a coming of age ritual. These young men moved to a higher level spiritually during this rite, and the jumping was their way of expressing their pride and joy at having made it through.

I almost felt like joining them, after thinking about how far I've come over the past decade. In those dark, brutal moments when you don't know if you even want to endure, what a gift it is to awaken to a new dawn with a new perspective on life.
