    … before I had to put the camera down and totally focus on the landing I am about to make at Sedona, landing on runway 3, engine off. Left hand operates the stick and the right hand flaps and top of the wing spoilers (metal boards that lift up on the top of the wing and spoil the aerodynamic flow of air over the surface resulting in a high sink rate). The first 1700+ hours I flew before getting the motorglider in 2007, were all glider hours … no engine for go arounds, you got it right the first time since that is all there is.

    Because of this, even after getting the motorglider the vast majority of my landings at Sedona and other places have been engine off, because that it is what I did/do and besides, it is cool. In this shot I am set up to land about two thirds of the way down the runway and if I got things just right I could roll off the runway, across the taxi way and almost up to my shade. My friend John could get his to his hangar, but he rolled downhill the last part and mine was all uphill.

    Fun memories … I took this shot a year ago today … shortly before sunset and with the sunlight traveling through so much more atmosphere, the higher frequency wave lengths of light, the blues, are filtered out and the lower frequency wave lengths make it through … the reds!

    A great day today and I suspect that tomorrow will be too … can’t think of a reason it won’t be. Smile and share the joy in your life …

    Cheers

    Your first duty is to learn to live in the world, for to this you are born.
     
    But, meantime, make for yourself a secret room in the inner house of consciousness, where you may rest from the strain of this world, and disentangle yourself from that which is unworthy of your soul.
     
    Into this room let no unsympathetic person enter, for he would laugh at you in the temple of your better self.
     
    Yet, in a long time, perhaps some one who understands will pass the door. And who shall say what your life may be from that hour!
     
    — Max Ehrmann

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
