Up Up and Away

Challenge #108

What is it about us humans that have a desire to want to be in the air. There is a mystic and a sense of wonder of doing it that compels us to fly, float and drop from it, to defy gravity in it, test g-forces in it and just admire it.  We have always looked up to the sky since ancient times for sources of inspiration that has been expressed visually and literately. One thing that does remain a constant about being in the air, however, is that we always have to come down to Terra firma.

I challenge you to find that one reason that you enjoy about being in the air, and why. Think about it, visualize your experiences of it. Does the experience inspire you? In what ways? What do you experience, feel, sense, excitement, elation, joy, adrenaline rush, anticipation. Do you see a beauty in it? Does it make you feel a certain way, give you a different perspective on your life?  Write down the reason and other reasons. Then, make plans to do it, take a trip, a hot air balloon ride, skydiving event, whatever gets you airborne.  Very few people enjoy being in the air in one way or another....are you one of them?
