If we “ain’t leaping” as John’s song goes, are we dead? Sometimes we have no choice but to take that leap—life throws us a fast one, we have to move or quit or begin again. Our songs and poems and stories delve into different kinds of leaps with different results. Is a leap the same as a jump? One thing is constant: don’t fly too close to the sun. On the other hand, be sure to mix it up: stagnation breeds nothing but negativity or cynicism or the dreaded boredom. We wish you dazzling leaps and hope your net will always appear!\n\n"}
