Leonardo da Vinci felt flying was possible, sketching wings in detail. And the fact that birds flew kept him trying, even when all of his efforts would fail. An artist and a brilliant engineer, he designed dreams drawn by his gifted pen. But his passion for flying was sincere, although that goal eluded him back then. All his life, he invented contraptions designed to unlock the secrets of flight. And his alterations and adaptions haunted his inquisitive dreams at night. Yet, despite how much one may desire it, some indulgences fate will not permit.

A good one, Emile. I had a lot of difficult thinking of da Vinci as a broken person, but I suppose he was...in this sense. Good writing as always, my friend.

Thanks Milt, I suppose he was somewhat broken having left many projects half-finished and never achieving flight, I appreciate your comments my friend, Emile.
