"I'm learnin' to fly but I ain't got wings
comin down is the hardest thing'

"i'm learnin to fly around the clouds
what goes up must come down"
--Tom Petty

anybody ever wish they just could fly and see what life looks like from up there?

kind of reminds me of Jonathan Price's dream sequence in Brazil. You could just go out to the local general aviation airport and go for a ride in a two-seater. That's pretty intense.

i've done that, but i was thinking more along the lines of just being up there, no plane, no one else, just feeling the soaring freedom of flight.

Coming down is the hardest thing.

Rocks might melt; sea may burn.

Some say life will beat you down.

I guess I'll know when I get there.

Personally I love to soar...I live in reality...dream while flying.

with me it's hawks, falcons, bird of prey in general. swans have great beauty and grace, but to me lack the noble bearing the the birds that hunt posess. just my .02 worth

 

[calypso_21]

Falcons are awesome. I would have loved to be able to train some and fly them. I have to agree...falcons are majestic.

i remember see a thing on tv not too long ago where in mongolia it was becoming a lost art because s omany young people had left the steppes, a true shame

Where I used to live I passed a bald eagle nest twice a day during my commute. Every now and then I would see one or both of the happy couple. Man, I stopped a few time on the way home just to watch them soar.

gotta love the eagle, after all it is the national bird

 

[Ezarc]

Those birds were huge too. I never really saw them that close but it looked like the wingspan was wider than my car. I even saw them flying together once. It was almost like a dance. I watched for about twenty minute until it got to dark to see them well.
