Perfectly written, I will bookmark it for reference once I learn how to jump... I have been on that island, given stand-by tickets for that ferry. My ticket was called for the ferry twice, but I fell overboard shortly after leaving dock both times and had to doggy-paddled back to shore... My husband has asked that I jump into the current with him, even though there are still stand-by tickets in my hand. I already am happy without children. The only thing that I know in every cell of my body is that, together, my husband and I can do anything. Our love is the ONLY thing that I have ever trusted, believed in, or could relied on during my entire life. I can happily jump with him (or he stay on the island with me), but my question to you is, how do I know, when there are still stand-by tickets to be had, that I should just jump and hope I don't get too much water up my nose? How do you make a choice and just decide? I have made the choice to release all the extra tickets (although they are easily attainable) with the exception of one... And I just don't know how or when to open my hand and let it go with the island breeze... How did you? I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your post.

So perfectly written. I am an early island considerer...I have not yet even inhabited the island yet..in fact I am not even sure I will be accepted on ART train..I might have to by pass it and go directly to this nice island of acceptance that you speak of. Thank you for reminding me that my life can be full and rich and HAPPY either way. This is a beautiful post. So perfectly written.
