So often in life we go about in our day-to-day life; thinking about we
did,,, thinking about what we plan to do. The sad part of it all is that most of us spend so little time in-the-moment that we 'miss' the experience of being alive,,, in EACH moment. When I fly (to borrow and paraphrase from a few authors), I am totally in that moment, feeling vividly and vibrantly ALIVE. The closest thing I can equate it to is when I performed as a musician when I was younger - during the moments on stage, as it were, I was totally energized and living in that moment. It is that 'mountain top' experience... 'IT' is often referred to as the 'rapture of being alive',,,, flying brings me to that place.... It is truly the gift without price.... If you need more inspiration, pick up two books in paperback. "A Gift of Wings", by Richard Bach and "Biplane" by Richard Bach,,,,, there is another MOST excellent book by Bach which is an account of him 'barnstorming' with some buddies across the country,,, the title escapes me, but someone in this newsgroup will know the book I am talking about. -- -- =----- Good Flights!

We are alive in the air with this miracle that lies in our hands and beneath our feet" - Cecil Day Lewis - "Abhi" wrote in message om... How do you feel when you fly the plane? I am NOT Pilot... -Abhi. |
