Kite Flying

This is another of those lovely, windy, outdoorsy things that are fun to do! Once you launch your little construction of paper, string, and sticks up into the wind it becomes a twisting, tugging live thing on the end of your string. It's a kind of magic transformation, filled with possibilities and breathless laughter. Here is this construction, which is definitely heavier than air, riding above you on invisible wind, and for all intents and purposes, seems to be making a good attempt at lifting you off your feet and up into the sky behind it! Such a joyful sensation. A low-tech, energy friendly, simple delight.

Bright Hope


Standing on hilltops with our bright hopes leaping and tossing about in the winds of life, we can only gaze at their joyful dance, colours glowing in the sun, and trust that our lines don't get tangled, causing a rapid descent to the ground and an end to our optimism.
