Heros and other thoughts

I was soaring across the country last night. It's really ODD that you can put your self into a tin can with wings and within a FIVE hour time frame watch the sun go down and come up.

We did took an Alaska Airlines flight so we had to go through Seattle first so we went from one extreme end of the country to the other.

It's amazing how well lighted our cities and towns are, there is NO LACK of lighting - you see these wide swaths of brightened landscapes with twinkling lights.

I saw natures light in the thunderstorms that were off in a distance.

I watched a movie in my lap - Water - an Indian film about widows during the 1930's. It made me think about faith and what it means. The rules we live by and why we question and don't question those "rules"...

Meanwhile, some nice person brought me things to eat and drink -with a cheerie smile - while I stayed buckled up. Like what good is that seat belt really going to do me if the flying can takes a dive at 500 miles per hour?

I always "feel the force" on take off's and landings. I think it stems from either an overactive mind or an intense connection I feel with my physicial being. I always think - WOW - that's an amazing amount of FORCE - what diety can command such force?

It also made me particularly aware last night that I need to work on that overactive mind - that mind that is so busy worrying about the physical being. In all sorts of vain and not so vain ways.
