inspired by a friend who sweetly told me the story of her jumping off the roof as a child because she thought she could fly....thank you for tickling my muse.

What child hasn't wondered?
I know I did...
and I revel in those evenings when
in my dreams, the treetops
tickle my toes...

And I too though (once) that I could soar against gravity. Jumped from a hay-loft, down I went along with my confidence.
This was a true pleasure.

Our bodies may not be able to take flight, but our spirits certainly can! I was deeply touched by this earthbound angel's childhood story!

To life, Light, and angel flight!

How very lovely!
Yes the dream of flying is always present ... not only in children.
Much enjoyed.
Love, Margherita

Brings back memories of times past and of times flying in a small plane, not as graceful as paper wings.
Beautifully written i thank you for sharing it.
