Molly, your quote from Keroac reminded me of a dream I had. There were many of us stranded on a narrow ledge on a high cliff. We could not climb back up and the trees were far below us. One woman screamed, "we are meant to die!" and leaped from the cliff. In that instant I realized we were there because we had no need for a way either up or down because we had the capacity to fly. And I began yelling down to her as she fell, "No! we are meant to fly, we are meant to fly!". And she turned her head up and she flew. And then everyone on the ledge began to leap off and fly. I leaped straight up and flew into the sky.
