Copy of 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday: Remember a Time When You Were Willing to Trust Your Dreams & Jump?

Hello to you listening in Madaba, Jordan!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga.I’ve known my friend Gene since we served together on pediatric wards at the US Naval Hospital Portsmouth. We went our separate ways after being honorably discharged; but, because the world is small and the Internet is large Gene found me and we’ve become fast friends.He reminded me the other day: "Before you can fly, you have to be willing to jump from a high place."Which, in turn, reminded me of a much loved song: The Cape by Guy Clark. [YouTube link and lyrics are  also below in the Episode Notes.]And the song, in turn, took me to memories of friendship, stories, dreams, taking a leap of faith, the passage of time, and the joy of it all.Story Prompt: Take a listen to Guy Clarks’s song, remember a time when you were willing to trust your dreams and jumped. Write that story!  Practical Tip: The magic of stories is also in the sharing. If you wish share your story with someone or something.   All that matters is you have a story.The Cape - Guy ClarkEight years old with flour sack capeTied all around his neckHe climbed up on the garageHe’s figurin' what the heckHe screwed his courage up so tightThe whole thing come unwoundHe got a runnin' start and bless his heartHe headed for the groundChorusWell, he's one of those who knows that lifeIs just a leap of faithSpread your arms and hold your breathAnd, always trust your cape Now he’s all grown up with a flour sack capeTied all around his dreamsHe's full of piss and vinegarHe's bustin' at the seamsSo, he licked his finger and then he checked the windHe said, It's gonna be do or dieHe wasn't scared of nothin', boysHe's pretty sure he can flyChorusNow he’s old and grey with a flour sack capeTied all around his headHe's still jumpin' off the garageAnd will be till he's deadAll these years the people saidHe's actin' like a kidHe did not know he could not flySo he did.Chorus"  [Guy Clark - "The Cape"]  You’re invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, I hope you’ll subscribe, follow, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!
