“I’m learning to fly, but I ain’t got wings. And coming down is the hardest thing. I’m learning to fly, around the clouds. But what goes up must come down.”
Lyrics from ‘Learning To Fly’~Tom Petty
We all want to fly. Whether literally, or figuratively. Our spirit’s yearn for freedom to express ourselves authentically. Without inhibition, fears, or oppressive external forces holding us back. We often believe ourselves to be living authentically, only to discover maybe we really weren’t. Maybe we were living a facsimile version of who we really are. A version painted for us by other people’s ideas and notions about who we are or ought to be.
