Sail Down the Runway

    An insect, a bird, a bat, even a chicken can fly
        Why, oh why, can’t I, said young Master Tighe

    Oh, but surely you can, Master Tighe
         Lift your eyes from the ground, turn them to the sky

    Flap your wings, breathe a deep sigh
         Now sail down the runway, give it a try… 

    There you go, you’re soaring high
         ~ at the helm of your mind’s eye

Faith is a great thing to have and belief it all starts with the mind but a little reality helps too lol. We can't be jumping off a cliff in believing we can fly. You will fly south unfortunately. This is how dreams start and then through work achievement and then success. Thanks for the thought Gershon... I think of the Wright brothers...
