Why did we all stop skipping? As kids we used to love it, bouncing around with a big smile, arms akimbo, head thrown back, feeling the magic. Up and down sidewalks and parks, endlessly skipping.
Look around. All you see is self-defense outlets. Judo, karate, ti knon do. How many of us are in therapy? We wouldn't need all that if we just kept skipping. Jogging, hopscotch, hopping in place, rollerblading are not skipping. Neither is jumping rope.
I will go to the park and learn to skip again. Then I will traverse that entire area, arms out, head thrown back, feeling the magic. If I get arrested, maybe one of you will bail me out.
And in return, I will teach you how to skip.
