Learning to Fly
It's how I get around in my dreams. Little wonder that my eyes are almost constantly on the sky when I am outside. I look at the birds. I can feel the wind in their wings. I can feel them tacking in three dimensions: Fall off the wind and dive to get momentum; then turn into the wind and cup the wings into a near stall as you hit the updraft and it lifts you up until you bank and fall off the wind and dive again.I watch the raptors and the vultures soaring round and round the thermal draft columns. I can see what they are feeling. I think "I want to DO that." And I know, I really, really want to. It's one of the few things I have ever wanted so intensely to do that I have not just gone out and done. Yet here I am, alive and ambulatory as well...
He must have a purpose for me here. Perhaps I just amuse Him. I see Him in my mind's eye, perched on the edge of His cloud chuckling and shaking His head. "What will that eedjit do next?"
Well, here's to strainin' the limits of tolerable provocation.
"...A soul in tension is learning to fly. Condition grounded but determine to try. Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky. Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit... I."

I have always wanted to fly with the eagles and condors.
So far, I have only achieved it in my dreams or on my journeys.
Regarding wanting to go on some exciting adventures after a "near death experience", and realising that this maybe the last chance we´ll ever get, well... why not? When we have tasted death, what is there to be scared about?
I myself have done many exciting things since my little "NDE" last year. I have taken up horse riding again after 45 years, I have had a sea adventure to see the dolphins and pilot whales which I have always wanted to do, and I have also been on some kind of safari tour in Andalucia, which also kept the adrenaline going.
So, my advice to you girl, go for it! Life is too short! When we are given a second chance in life, we must take it and embrace it...
Same when a relationship is not working, we realize that something, or someone greater is out there for us... That´s the Divine Plan.
Thanks for the video and the wish to fly...
