It is not difficult to know how to fly, I think, afterall! our very atoms have flown aeons to reach and reassemble themselves here, in this way. Every mammal knows how to fly. Some bacteria remember how too, but they are a wily bunch and untrustworthy as sailors on a mid morning slop across an unwritten and unpronounceable port. The trouble isn't KNOWING. The trouble is GROWING. Can't grow wings or thin, light, air-filled bones. Can't drift upwards on the airstreams. But you can grow upwards, and you can fly. The secret lies in knowing all your own reasons as to why you want to fly.

Lessons in flight
