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.
