    … one of the joys of flying out of Sedona is the ability to fly along the rim of the Colorado Plateau and marvel at all of the different formations that have eroded away over the millennia. This portion of the rim is to the SW of Sedona and very near Casner Mountain which I am well below … just a quiet ride taking in the beauty.

    My flying has never been about point A to point B flying … I’m a glider guider and that is flying for the pure beauty and enjoyment of being in the air and enjoying the beauty of the area and exercising the skills necessary to keep about a thousand pounds of glider and human in the air while traveling cross country utilizing only the forces of nature. The motorglider was nice too in that it gave me the opportunity to focus more on photography without having to worry about working to keep it in the air … also to be able to go and photograph areas where and when there was no lift.

    It is quiet and at the same time incredibly busy … especially when low. I do think I will print some bumper stickers up … maybe: GLIDER GUIDERS GET HIGH AND STAY HIGH. Perhaps not such a good idea though, but It is much more relaxing to be 10,000′ above the ground than 1,000′.

    Leaving for the lake in about six hours so this is a wrap for the day. Have a beautiful day and enjoy it to the fullest … the only time you get to do it!

    Cheers,

    Ted

    O sweet content! where is thy mild abode
    Where I may dwell in endless peace?
    Show me the much sought road
    And give the lease.
     
    The answer came, “Then cease to vainly roam
    In search of me, for thou wilt find
    My quiet hidden home
    Within thy mind”.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
