pleasure, immortality of the soul and the phrygian slave..

And these are my contemplations...I chose to fly tomorrow who knows what landing awaits me... Every time it is different. It is abit like falling in love. You choose to go to another destination, hopefully one where you will enjoy yourself, then on the plane the food could be great or disgusting and you might not even care if it is either, you only care for that landing. You might have to pay extra because your ticket got lost in the post. And they will not re-issue you one. But you pay beccause you want to fly, you promised yourself you would. The extra luggage could be another problem. You might be charged or the extra weight you carry may be ignored, or you could be travelling lightly yet there is still that anxiety if if if.... You are also worried that you might miss the flight, you check the departure scree, you check if the taxi will be on time, if the train will too, if the the alarm will ring for you to wake up and get ready before that precious plane flies without you.. Additionally, there is the concern of who will be sitting next to you: someone who smells maybe, someone who is too arrogant, someone who chats you up and you do not want to be chatted up or someone who you want to chat you up but will not.
All of this then and more you worry about when you fly...to land
I have flown many times but I have fallen only once...
Once you fall you are so scared you might fall again and you are so scared you might not fall ever again...
It is all because flying is the safest means of trasport...
The pleasure is in that moment where you look at the alps or when you are lost too in the clouds and you begin to realize how high you are from earth... isnt this fun?
The immortality of the soul comes in and comes out as soon as you are between sky and earth and you wonder where is the limit...
The phrygian slave is your alter ego : you want your travel to be care-free...
I will take the leap of faith that this morning that I will be flying again towards my desired destination.
I am in love with Thessaloniki...
