Someone Cover Me, I'm Going In!

Written at 9:57 pm EST while flying from New York to Seattle.

Fun fact: listening to ‘Ready for Anything’ by Skyway Flyer (Song of the Day) makes airplane rides SO much more epic.


I’m flying over Michigan.

I am FLYING. OVER. MICHIGAN.

As in, I can actually see the outline of the state, in its glove form. I can see the water between Michigan and Wisconsin, with Wisconsin on the west side and quite possibly Canada to the north. And all this without consulting a map.

Wow.

I mean, have you ever seen the outline of this country? I know some of the states are boring with their squareness, but the natural borders are nothing short of miraculous.

Have you ever been able to pinpoint the naturally made contours of our borders? Ever seen the glory of Michigan from 35000 feet in the air?

It’s kind of amazing.

I’m just saying.



Thirty five thousand feet in the sky
it's hard not to feel like
I can fly
a long stressful week, an excess of goodbye
plenty of nights absorbed by a cry
summer is close, no time to be shy
adventures are waiting, vacation on standby
chasing the sunset through the sky
tomorrow is looming - home is nigh.
