Flying High

Flying these days is quite different. Planes and airports are packed due to fewer flights, and every passenger stands the chance of getting lost in the shuffle. Maybe not everyone, that just makes me feel better since it happened to me. Something did occur to me during the one flight we actually made - when on a plane you can only see where you are through those small round windows. You can't see where you are going - only the Pilot can see that. And you can't really see where you've been - you just have to rememer best you can.
Flying is much like life - you can't really see where you are going. If you have the right Pilot you can be assured you'll end up in a good place, and if you actually trust the Pilot you will have peace even though you can't actually see what's ahead. So be careful who your Pilot is - there are only two Pilots of life and you determine your pilot according to the priniciples and values you choose to adopt. Oh, don't forget somehing else - be sure to soak in the present because it becomes the past in a split second never to return again.
Mull on it awhile.
