I love that journal card ... it pretty much states my own motto, not that I go around breaking rules all the time, just the ones that seem arbitrary or that don't make sense. Wonderful extraction, filter, and shadow work.
PS: I don't know much about jumping over couches, but I can testify from experience that people should be very careful about sticking their legs, feet, arms, hands, etc., into couch crevices (i.e., into the invisible areas where upholstery is tucked). My oldest son once got a staple stuck in his foot severely enough that we had to make a quick trip to the doctor's office. Fortunately, our pediatrician was an old hand at removing fish hooks from flesh. He had my boy good as new (almost) in no time.
Wonderful extraction, filter, and shadow work.
