Flying

 

(Written on Thai Airways, Oct 12, 1999, Tokyo -> Los Angeles)

 

Stretch –

Stretch your hands on the side parallel to the ground

Like the wings of the Canadian Geese!

Keep them stretched –

Until you feel movement of the wings!

 

Stretch your hands up -

As if you are reaching the sky

Keep them stretched –

Until you feel the lift!

 

Stretch your hands forward -

As if you are reaching the horizon

Keep them stretched –

Until you feel the takeoff!

Now close your eyes and think blank

Until you feel you are flying!
