Leap Day. If ever an occasion warranted such infrequent occurence, this conjured up holiday does.
And it should be a holiday. It should be celebrated wildly for not only what it is, but what it can be. Leap Day should be a time when high school shadows ask out homecoming queens. Closet faith should open itself to a world of aquaintances in need. Couples poor only in wealth should choose to become parents despite it.
All these changes of direction should happen because once every four years is neither too long nor short a time to accomplish what should take place daily. People should leap.
How often does the next step go untaken? How many times does the path stop at the foot of fear, regret, reason or remorse? But there always must be that one way of overcoming such still steps--by leaping. And there should be a day set aside for it.
Today is as good a day as any.
