Sense of Flight

"In order to arrive at a place you do not know

you must go by a way you do not know."

St John of the Cross

We have grown accustomed to the fast track by using cell phones, Instagram, drive up windows and express deliveries. It would be one thing if we then used the saved time for caring for ourselves, but we don't. We simply fill the newly opened spaces with additional activities. 

When we wish to explore new spaces, too often we have forgotten our sense of adventure. We tend to map everything out and secure reservations. Wandering has been lost and so has our sense of flight. No longer do we feel that pause where we choose to just be in the moment ... suspended, just floating in the air. 

If we choose to experience something different, our minds need to be open and expectant of the unknown. There is no need to puzzle everything out. With curiosity we gently move forward upon uncharted paths. Our senses are wide open to experience that which we do not know.
