My friend, Linda, sent me the link to the video I have above this post. It is best on full screen. Tonight it speaks to me for I would like to fly above the world, touching down only where I wanted. I am in awe of this young man and his ability to soar in the mountains, over the oceans, along the beach and on top of cities. I don't want to know how he does it. I am just amazed that he can and happy he takes me along with him.
Lucky, lucky man.
ReplyDeleteAs a retired skydiver, I have thousands of journeys under a canopy similar to this one. It is wonderful to fly, and I do feel I learned how. This is a fun video; thanks so much for sharing it! :-)
ReplyDeleteDJan, I know you can fly and I think it is wonderful. I would never have the nerve to jump out of an airplane. I can hardly make myself get into one. Watching this video, I can almost feel how it is to be soaring above everything and getting that view. I have always had a fear of heights. When I was small, I would not stand near the open doors of the hay loft. At the top of a tall building with some of my family, I had the odd feeling I might want to jump off. How weird is that? But as a kid I loved to climb trees, sit high above the group.
ReplyDeleteBut I have never been daring except when riding a horse. I jumped hurdles, rode into streams and let my mare run like the wind.
EC, he is a lucky man, but also a bold and brave man. I'm glad he lets me fly with him.
