FREE
TO
FLY
!

I drove off in my little Celica, yesterday, and it was wonderful!
I walked different streets and saw some different signs glued to the bumpers of cars parked on the side.

Like: "Doctors should teach nutrition
not pharmaceutical addiction!"

Like: "More than a million individuals make more than $25,000 a year selling stuff on eBay..........are you?"

Like: "There needs to be less corruption.......or more opportunity for me to participate in some of it."

Like: "Fight global warming:
turn on your airconditioner and
open all the windows!"

Like: "Maybe you're just experiencing
a different reality?"

I walked into a bar, heard some nice music, then discovered that we have some really backward alcohol laws. Like.........I can buy a bottle of beer in a bar, but the moment I open it, I can't take it outside that bar and drink it on the street or in my car.........but if I buy a CAN of beer in a bar, I can take it to a park, open it there, and drink it there.........is that weird, or what? Who created such totally absurd laws? And why do we stand for it?

Then I saw a whole lot of really bad art.........and then I discovered one fantastically great artist, and I just stood there........silently.........admiring his works and feeling like it was OK again, to be alive in a world where such a man creates the magic of perfect beauty.

Then I drove through the desert of empty landscapes and remembered the Long Island Expressway and thought how great it is to live in a place where I can see the horizon from miles away.

Then I came back home again and saw that the cute little ladybug had finally escaped from its screendoor prison and that we had both found
the freedom to fly.
