The Problem of Flight

The problem with all previous human attempts at pure flight (flight without machinery) is that we have only ever tried to bring our bodies to the sky. You can only stare at clouds in an azure sky and dream for so long before you look away and realize you are still Earthbound. A more viable method of attack would be to bring the sky down to our bodies. That way, you may experience flight while remaining grounded all the while. For instance, in the following image:


I am flying high in the clouds, even as my feet are firmly planted on the marley floor in 5th position, looking out into an imagined audience. This I can never leave, a tangible, human happiness. Here I go!
