Poet's Corner

[Koikaze]

Poet, I'm not sure how best to respond. I've been flying since the '40s and think it is the second greatest experience known to man ... landing is the first.***

I love flying ... it helps restore perspective. One thought I have, almost every time I fly, happens when I fly over a town. I look down and think, "There's someone in that town that thinks they're important!" That thought has a wonderfully sobering effect on me.

The problem is that I don't think these observations are responsive to your question.

Given the choice you offered, I suppose I'd opt for flying, an activity toward which I am already predisposed. I have no desire to be the center of attention, but neither do I wish to be invisible.
