Flying
Most have dreamt that they could fly,
Some use fancy suits to try,
Others sit and wonder why,
They're afraid to touch the sky.

Dr. Seuss, Shel Silverstein... I miss you my friends, and dream of a ten turtle stack where the sidewalk ends. Though I'm now an adult, I miss the sing song of your rhymes. They teach little lessons and make us talk in time. So here's my attempt at a silly adult version - a wacky news, silly video, rhyming poetry fusion.
Not the sky I'm afraid to touch
ReplyDeleteIt's hurdling toward the ground at a pace that's a tad too much
And going flat
As I go splat
LOL. At least you know you can touch the sky without leaving the ground. :)
DeleteWow Rachel, that was transporting. So peaceful and exhilarating!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed it! I like living vicariously though them. :)
DeleteAhhhh Rachel, the music is beautiful but I could only watch a little of the video because I was getting qeezy...I can't take the heights and looking down LOL.
ReplyDeleteSorry to make you queasy! Glad you stopped. Heights aren't for everyone. I can handle them some, but do have my issues. :)
DeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I'd love to do that! But unfortunately when the moment came I couldn't promise that I wouldn't chicken out!
ReplyDeleteI like watching THEM do it much better! :)
DeleteSo cool :)
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteUagh I hate flying (afraid of heights and a bit claustrophobic) but this video is great! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWell, if you were able to enjoy the video despite your fears... that is sort of like flying. :)
DeleteGreat video! However, nothing I would ever have the courage to do.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Rachel!
I'm pretty sure I'm never going to sky dive either. :) I'm glad you liked the video!
DeleteI could do a hot air balloon, but fear would stop me from doing this. Beautiful video, great message.<3<3<3
ReplyDeleteOoooohhh. I would definitely do a hot air balloon... in fact I may have ridden in one as a child... the memory is fuzzy. :)
DeleteCute Blog.Cuter lines.So glad to have read you. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, you cutie pie, you. :)
DeleteHello Rachel.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind flying as long as it's in a jumbo jet!
As to all that other stuff...bungee jumping, throwing yourself out of planes to sky dive, even the hot air balloon...waaaaay to adventurous for me. My heart stops just looking at them plunging at so many miles to earth!
The music was nice though.
Thanks for sharing.

I get that fear from most of that stuff too. Even some roller coasters. I'm glad you liked the music. :)
DeleteThis is a great video Rachel! I haven`t tried skydiving but my daughter did...maybe some day! The music is great! I love the videos on Vimeo...so creative!
ReplyDeleteMy best friend wants me to sky dive with her some day. I don't think I'm up for it, but told her she might be able to get me to parasail. We'll see. :)
