I'm Flying!



          
There are days when I feel I must get off the ground! I just have to let myself go and fly… and I do… in my imagination! Some days I simply sit for a while and let my mind unhinge itself and soar to places I will never see or know, except in the high-flying circuits of imagination. I don’t have to worry about coming back “home” because the act of flying takes care of all the details.

 A place of escape...

In these days of fears of disease and difficulties about ourselves, I think there must be a place of escape in us that can let us be where we want to be without concerns for ordinary responsibilities. Perhaps a good book can unleash some unknown vista or a documentary can introduce sights and sounds that are brand new, handy ways and means for us to “slip our traces” and find places in us where boundaries do not apply.

Our thoughts need to expand...

I think we all need times when our thoughts need to expand, when we can upend the nitty gritty of ordinary days and move into a spot where our “better angels” take over and fill us with endless possibilities. After all, dreaming and imagining do not stop with childhood. There is that area in us that holds the spirit of adventure, is there not? Perhaps we should re-acquaint ourselves with it if we have not visited in a while!
