Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I’m through with playing by the rules
Of someone else’s game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It’s time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap

It’s time to try
Defying gravity

I don’t know when it happened. Maybe last week, maybe the week before. I’m not really sure. I was outside and I looked up to the sky. And all of the sudden, I wanted to be up there.

Literally.

I’ve read a lot of pilots blogs recently. They say they’d always dreamed of flying. Ever since they were a child… When they were growing up… Collecting airplanes… You name it, I’ve read it. But I don’t know how it started for me. Something just snapped. The above lyrics from Wicked are eerily apropos.

I want to be a pilot.

The moment I began to think about it I began to realize that I really can do it. There is nothing physically holding me back from taking flying lessons. So why not learn how to soar through the sky?

I just set up http://flying.radiopeter.com. I don’t think I’ll begin until August, but this is the time for research.

Irving Berlin, be a dear and help me out…

Blue skies
Smiling at me
Nothing but blue skies
Do I see
