casimira: take the plunge


take the plunge, she whispered.

--but the water may be cold...

take the plunge, she urged.

--but what if I drown?...

take the plunge, she pleaded.

--but I will get wet...

take the plunge, she ordered.

--but I am afraid of....of never wanting to come back for air...

take the plunge or you'll always be wondering--and how sad would that be, she said.

how many excuses do YOU have for not taking the plunge?
