Want to fly? / by Chris Maynard

Disperse is carved from an Amazon Parrot flight feather.

I want to fly because:

I want to fly to fly to have a better view

I want to fly to understand where I want to go

I want to fly to be closer to heaven

I want to fly to be respected

I want to fly to get away from what is bothering me, what I don’t like

I want to fly to get unstuck

I want to fly to go somewhere else because where I am is boring, dangerous, unfulfilling

I want to fly so I can look down on everyone else

I want to fly so I can feel important

I want to fly so I can get what I want--career, physical wholeness, relationship, mental wholeness, physical health, and stuff 

I want to fly so I can be acknowledged, respected, and famous

I want to fly because it is more exciting than being here.

I want to fly so do not have to slog there through brush and hills.

I want to fly to be free

I want to fly because it feels good
