Wisps above and tuffs to the side, volumnous stacks ahead and about... soaring above the clouds this morning, a familiar tune came to mind:
"I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
I’m just out to find
The better part of me
I’m more than a bird...i’m more than a plane
More than some pretty face beside a train
It’s not easy to be me
Wish that I could cry
Fall upon my knees
Find a way to lie
About a home I’ll never see
It may sound absurd...but don’t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed...but won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me
Up, up and away...away from me
It’s all right...you can all sleep sound tonight
I’m not crazy...or anything...
I can’t stand to fly
I’m not that naive
Men weren’t meant to ride
With clouds between their knees
I’m only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Only a man in a funny red sheet
Looking for special things inside of me
Inside of me
Inside me
Yeah, inside me
Inside of me
I’m only a man
In a funny red sheet
I’m only a man
Looking for a dream
I’m only a man
In a funny red sheet
And it’s not easy, hmmm, hmmm, hmmm...
Its not easy to be me"
Off each leg of landmark transit cycles in life, man first moves from his back to crawl on fours, then to stride on twos and finally to hobble on threes. With the dawn of tech-savvy, since the stone age, some may even roll out on wheels. I'm saddened to say that though I'm no less than two-thirds of the cycle on, I've regressed to a crawl figuratively. We endeavour and strive, we've learnt that it brings growth; though sometimes it's possible to strive too hard, and lose sight of the natural scheme of things.
Just as we don't consciously breakdown the active motor-function subsets of tossing a newspaper while on a bicycle cruising around a bend at 20 Kmph, one shd not try to visualise or scribe a thesis on farting while singing in the shower, whilest turning off the tap and simultaneously reaching for the towel and keeping track of a five minute shower. In essence, trying too hard is actually possible, just let go, and take flight ;)
