I always wish I could be like superman (or the indian in the "Learning to Fly" Pink Floyd video) and just jump off and soar through the mountaintops. In fact...

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction is holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?

Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I

(right about now in the videao the indian puts the eagle feather in his armband and leaps off the cliff...-bf)

Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that is learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night

There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my mind from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

I love the cameras in the Smoky Mountains. I have linked to both of them drectly on my homepage for over a year now:

Look about 2/3 of the way down the page, just above my trail journals. This morning, the Purchase Knob camera is socked in, but the Look Rock camera has a nice fall picture.
