Proportions

There's something about flying that suddenly changes the way I see the world. When I'm down on the ground just driving along, the planes overhead look very, very small. But once you're in a plane, you realize just how immense they are, and just how tiny the cars and ground are below. Gazing down, I couldn't help but wonder why we like to feel so big and important. I personally love the feeling I get when I'm out in the country under a vast canopy of endless sky and stars. It sort of puts things into proportion for me, as I'm suddenly looking through a different point of view. It's like being in another world of brilliant blue and white and I just want to reach out and wrap the air around myself. If only it were possible. I always wished I could fly, and I guess the airplane is as close as I'll get (:
