Oh, to soar above the clouds
for just one day –
free-floating, empowered…
What perspective would flight reveal –
the illusion that is civilization?
the fragility of our walls?
Still, let us aspire to ascend…
without regard for the fall…

If it weren’t for attempts at ascending, we’d never understand that we could fall. Love the image too, VJ!

One can’t go through life thinking you’re going to fall. It’s how quickly you get up after you fall.

The bad news is you’re falling through the air, nothing to hang on to, no parachute. The good news is, there’s no ground. 🙏
