Starting a new plan a project or a new business is very similar to taking a flight.
Once your plane gets off the ground, its smooth sailing through boundless skies graceful as a kite.
When preparing a plan for a flight, the captain always requests that we put on a seat belt for the beginning of the takeoff is the roughest part.
That is the roughest part where most of the jolts and bumps are felt.
In preflight inspection the pilot tests the sails and rudder of his vessel making sure that he has total control.
He throttles up with brakes engaged making sure that once he stops that he will not roll.
As an arrow drawn back aimed at a target, engine at full capacity, he releases the brakes.
With God’s grace on silver wings, gravity is defied over great mountains, valleys, oceans and lakes.

Preflight Starlight
David J Walker
After a nine-month countdown
The small light
Ignited into life
Blasting off like a rocket
Seemingly slow
Hanging low for a moment
In the sky
then gone
Where and how far it will go
Is reflected in the show of
Unperfected engineers
Potential, they say
Is in the Stars-light
Soaring on a course charted
In the DNA of preflight

Fairlines, farewell, does the best ever fail
Pregame, preflight, does a man ever prepare himself for death
Autumn, Spring, does the end always seem near
Ice Lakes by the pond I ponder life
10, 11, a troop is a troop only if it survives
The strength of 12 this is not the path that I choose
If I return or not I submit my Spirit to God

Pollen green 3 inches
Of allergen confection, powders outdoor landmarks.
A few ticks past dawn,
New birds, preflight,
Tune up their chirping chords,
Like nature's philharmonic, knowing the neighborhood
Is soon to enter their amphitheater, in, from their rooms of sleep.
Little lizards scurry, large clouds puff up and move through,
Steel blue, morning skies.
Sunshine coats deer and fox,
Chipmunk and squirrel,
And lovely life grooves
In time with God
