When I was 17, my boss treated me to a flight in a glider and we flew over keevil.We were towed up and when the cord was released it was such an amazing feeling.Now the idea of flying makes me very nervous.I think I should stop looking at the logic that restrains and start looking at the dreams that release.A wonderful poem Ernestine and a wonderful reminder.Love Duncan
