Creativity is about suspending thought and living in the airy state of Divinity. This video is a delicious illustration. For the best experience, watch it full screen.

Gorgeous flight of weightless mass
Focus tight in airy dash;
On summer wind or winter coat
Roiling high in feather-float.
Never landing, little need
Nature’s forces have agreed
There is no truth in coming down
We’re foreign here;
We’re not earth-bound.
Beautiful imagery you share here with us, Lesley. Dreamy, ethereal and gutsy at the same time. Thanks for the morning contemplation extender!
Rudy, did you write that? It is beautiful! Truly, “there is not truth in coming down.” Wow, AND we truly are heaven bound.
Thank you for always extending my contemplation, dear friend.
Lesley that was such an inspiring video! It was so in tune to your message of the Inner Adventure and that we all need to break out of all the dead images and reach for new live ones and to break out of our comfort zones and live in the moment! I had just finished work as I watched it and it gave me such a motivating pulse of energy! Thanks!
Michael, it gave me that same pulse of energy and appreciation for this boundless creative world we have been given in which to play and love. You sum it up beautifully. Truly, the journey is about the live image, in the now.
Lesley,
Oh My Gosh!!! What awe-inspiring words and pictures!
Thank you….
Isn’t it inspiring, Joan. We really can bust out of the cubicles of the mind into the buoyancy of air.
That’s awesome, Lesley! Thanks so much for the inspiration, and the reminder of the freedom of flight. Like Rudy says, there is no need to come down in the realms we strive to travel. <3
So true, Sage. With determination and love, we really can hold our attention above the mundane and soar through our days.
I love getting air! I used to motocross in the hills and sand dunes near my home when I really needed a release from the stress of raising three children on my own.
It was so exhilarating. Riding the berms and sand dunes in my gear and my trusted Suzuki-it was my “go to bestie” back in the day.
Your beautiful post brings it all back for me.
Hugs and kisses!
Deborah, what a wonderful image, you out there on the dunes and whoop-de-doos catching air. Truly, sports like those in the video bring us so into the moment that one can’t help but enter that airy state of freedom. I’m happy this did for you what it did for me.
