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!

Flying is life-and-death control of your own fate every second"
H. Adam Stevens" wrote in message Well you obviously have never driven your car down the Pacific Coast along the famed patch of road/cliff called Devil's Slide here in my 'backyard' :-) ....... Life and death is less than a second's steering wheel movement away,,,,, YIKERS!!!! with no help possible from outside. Life and death???? Get some recurrency training, ya shouldn't be flying like that!!!! ;0) My goodness, man,,,,, how the heck are ya flying that plane???? GRIN Seriously though,,,,, I hope you aren't of the same ilk that will take eager aviation newbies up for their first flight and then demonstrate a spin.. Sure, there is risk in anything you do, but for goodness sake, flying isn't like balancing on the head of a pin above a volcano for goodness sake. If anything, I find it relaxing/soothing to my mind and spirit. Yes there are risks but they are all most manageable, for the most part. -- -- =----- Good Flights!

I feel about the same as the guys quoted he http://www.skygod.com/quotes/quotes.html Well, except for the one that is framed and hanging on my wall, which is how I feel when I'm not flying the plane. The one by da Vinci, who never knew the experience but seemed to know it so well. On a more prosaic level, I feel - proud. -- David Brooks And are you sure Leonardo never did? I wouldn't put it past him. |
