On a windy day, let's go on flying.
There may be no trees to rest on,
There may be no clouds to ride.
But we'll have our wings and the wind will be with us,
That's enough for me,
That's enough for me.
~ Yoko Ono (Song for John)There may be no trees to rest on,
There may be no clouds to ride.
But we'll have our wings and the wind will be with us,
That's enough for me,
That's enough for me.

Come to the edge.
We might fall.
Come to the edge.
It's too high!
COME TO THE EDGE!
And they came,
and he pushed,
and they flew.
We might fall.
Come to the edge.
It's too high!
COME TO THE EDGE!
And they came,
and he pushed,
and they flew.

Be like a bird
That pausing in her flight
Awhile on boughs to light,
Feels them give way
Beneath her and yet sings,
Knowing that she hath wings.
~ Victor Marie Hugo That pausing in her flight
Awhile on boughs to light,
Feels them give way
Beneath her and yet sings,
Knowing that she hath wings.

Should my end come while I am in flight,
Whether brightest day or darkest night;
Whether brightest day or darkest night;
Spare me your pity and shrug off the pain,
Secure in the knowledge that I'd do it again;
Secure in the knowledge that I'd do it again;
For each of us is created to die,
And within me I know,
I was born to fly.
And within me I know,
I was born to fly.
— Gary Claud Stokor

I pick the prettiest part of the sky and I melt into the wing and then into the air, till I'm just a soul on a sunbeam. ~Richard Bach
