Practising
Apr. 24th, 2010 10:52 pmMy favourite moment when taking a plane trip is the take-off. I love trying to pinpoint the exact moment when the tires leave the tarmac. I love watching the ground fall away.
My first paragliding lesson is in one week (weather permitting). I've been practising. When I've got a stretch of sidewalk to myself on my walk to work, I imagine pulling controls to turn right, then left, making s-curves. When I'm in areas where such behaviour is likely to be noticed, or in bed before sleeping, I practise the feeling of taking off. Over and over, I imagine the exact moment when my shoes leave the ground and when the earth falls away from beneath my feet and I go from jogging on the grass to breathless, weightless flight.
I'm feeling a bit heavy these days, so I'm even more eager than usual to take off.
