i want all of you guys to *read me*

people who fly have a whole different point of view from the people who spend their whole lives on the ground. theres a thing called "the gods eye view" and it said it was so different from "the bugs eye view".

there this legend about a bug who spent his entire life in the worlds most beautifully designed persian rug. all the bug ever saw in his lifetime was his problems. they stood up all around him, he couldnt see over the top of them and he had to fight his way through each strand of wool in the rug. and the tragedy of the story of the bug in the rug was that he lived and he died in the worlds most beautifully designed rug. but he never once knew that he spent his whole life in something which had a pattern.

thats why i want to get you up in the air today. to see
something the old bug wouldnt ever see in the rug. because
even he, this bug, if he had once got above the rug, so he
could see all of it. he would have discovered something...
that the very things he called his problems were apart of
the pattern.

have you ever felt like that bug in the rug? that you are so
surrounded with your problems that you cant see the beauty of the world in which you live. have you heard anyone say lately that the world is a total mess?

seeing only a little of it, we might think that.
