Emotional high
Flying scares me. It doesn't scare me quite as much as it used to but it still scares me. One of the effects of my fear is a hightened emotional response to just about everything. Often I find myself crying over terribly banal shit or stuff that is just plain terrible. Bad TV mostly. The crying helps and it definitely feels better than the pills I used to take. Terrible shit aside my greater emotional sensitivity does make me appreciate certain things more acutely. The sky and the clouds and the ground become more beautiful. Shades of browns and greens for the ground and blues and a small amount of orange for the sky. White clouds today, no grey. Even the curve of the wing of the aircraft, its leading silver edge. The form of the black graphic lines that cover its surface. They all affect me more deeply than you would otherwise expect. Its quite an experience. Were landing now. Time to see friends and enjoy the feeling of the earth beneath my feet.
