PEDAGOGY OF FLIGHT
Translating heaven I slow down
and hear the songs of angels
once muted by the din of inattention
gently weave the sleepy cloths of dream
into earthly clothing
Translating earth I feel my body
and remember forgotten toil
long patience that made the impossible possible
and in these sensations I search to find form
a message of use to those learning to fly
Noticing the moments in a stream of choice
that lift us or bring us down
I shape my pedagogy of flight
and practice again and again
singing the song of love
We’re flight’s apprentices blessing our fleet
may all be peaceful and light
may all be safe
free to step into the sky
free to return soundly to earth
