up in the air

while most people are terrified of flying i get a sense of peace from it. something about being up in the air, so far from the ground, gives everything in my life a bit of perspective. when you can see so many miles and all of the clouds in the sky, a little bit of paperwork at the office doesn't seem like such a concern. i'm also sure it has something to do with the fact that once i get off of the plane that all of the stress from being at work truly hits me. so much to do, so many long shifts, all of the deadlines and hectic days. while looking out the window at 35,000 feet those things seem so much less important. the world seems so small and life so full of possibilities.
