Words Come and Go

(5)

This entry is in leu of another entry which suddenly disappeared as I was typing. It went, 'Poof' for some reason, and I don't quite remember... It was about how my friend John and I went glider-flying at an airport in Colorado Springs and how we subsequently took to turning off the engines in our powered airplanes in order to experience the sensation of flying gliders, and how I would sometimes teach my students - against FAA recommendations - the art of flying a powerless airplane.

The entry went poof just at the point where I compared the LSD experience to the experience of being thousands of feet above the Colorado landscape in a glider. Oh, well. I only write words here. Words come and go.
