Growing Wings

Monday, August 27, 2012 ~ Day 27 of the 30-Day Blogging Challenge prompt is "If I could lighten up, I'd let myself..."

"If I could lighten up, I'd let myself..." What would I let myself do? There are certain activities I would never consider doing except under duress. There are other activities I would never consider doing even under duress. There are other activities I would consider doing if I could just lighten up or at least grow wings.

I think I would look good with a pair of wings growing out of my shoulder blades. I want a pair of wings strong enough to let me sail the air current above the cities and mountains. I want to fly with eagles. I want to fly among the strong winged predators instead of scurrying along the ground with their prey.

"If I could lighten up, I'd let myself..." fly around the world in a hot air balloon. I would not care if it took 90 or 190 days just as long as I could see the earth flowing under me like the incoming or out going tide.

"If I could lighten up, I'd let myself..." I would buy a ticket on a Russian rocket to the International Space Station. I would stand at the port and watch the Earth, its clouds floating islands on an ocean of air. I would compose odes to the continents unmarred by human created boundaries. I would send greetings to every city, town, and village on Earth; I would bless their inhabitants and wish them a successful and happy life.

"If I could lighten up, I'd let myself..." I would fly through the cold hydrogen of interstellar space looking for the life forms I know are out there. Looking for life forms on the surface or in the oceans of undiscovered planets waiting, for their chance to fly free of planetary gravity through the corridors of interstellar and intergalactic space.

"If I could lighten up, I'd let myself..." grow wings. Wings that would carry me anywhere on the planet or in the universe I wanted to go. I would grow wings that respond to my faith rather then my fears.

"If I could lighten up, I'd let myself..." take myself lightly, which would allow me to grow wings so that I could fly with the angels, who already take themselves lightly.
