Airborne

I realize now why airports and planes are such a big part of my life currently. I just needed this time for myself. There has been resentment due to regular plane delays and time away from home but I have also noticed a surge in my imagination and intuition. I feel calmer, peaceful and able to interpret situations better. The solitude that flights bring have given me more time for reflection and introspection. I find myself writing a lot while on the flight. The quietude while I am amongst the clouds, the hues and the emptiness, gets me in the zone. The tapestry of life and the way dots keep connecting continues to fascinate me! Needless to say, most of my recent writings have come from being in the clouds and staring at the hues far away at the horizon. Here is one more...

See the world from up the sky through the clouds
      some big, some small
I see the expanse but oh my mind is so small,
The concrete jungles, the cars, the homes, your beloved pool,
      Oh the stuff,
You fail in comparison to the trees, the lawns, 
      the lakes and rivers
From up here, each life and its story seems so small,
     Why dont we open our eyes to the expansiveness of the world,
        And keep our tiny minds in the confines of our home, our car, our pool,
            Our stuff!
