Life Is Short --- Learn To Fly

Life is much too short to worry about proper etiquette, appearances, manners, rules or customs set up for us by media, schools, religions, politics, and other social controlling institutions. When things get tough there is no need to visit doctors, go to counseling, or to take drugs. All you have to do is Learn To Fly. We don't have wings.......but we have imagination. A person's imagination is the greatest wings a human can experience. In terms of metaphysics I have learned to dis-associate myself from the constraints of modern socially accepted structures and learned to rely on my own imagination. If you are going to worry about what others think of you, or spend your time trying in vain to please them, you will be forever carrying "boulders on your shoulders". Only when you can laugh and tell them you won't be sitting at their table for dinner will your wings be able to spread. Life is short *** Learn to fly *** You'll love the journey.

Read the lyrics to this beautiful song written by the recording rebel artist Tom Petty.

Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
The town lit up the world got still

Im learning to fly but I aint got wings
Comin down is the hardest thing
Well the good old days may not return
And the rocks might melt, and the sea may burn

Im learning to fly but I aint got wings
Comin down is the hardest thing
Well some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown

So I started out for God knows where
But I guess Ill know when I get there
Im learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

Im learning to fly but I aint got wings
Comin down is the hardest thing
Im learning to fly around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

Im learning to fly
Im learning to fly
