Flight

    Flight is an act of faith. When we lift off from the ground, we put our trust in forces we scarcely comprehend. We know that we are entering the realm of the gods, defying the limitations of our humanness, embracing the possibilities of our divinity. When we see the earth from above, it is different from the world we know. It is larger, yet smaller; more dislocated, yet more connected. Flight gives us the gift of perspective, of seeing a bigger whole, when we thought the parts were all there was. Flight gives us the experience of transformation, of existing in a different state of being, soaring like a bird when our feet should be firmly on the ground?
