   I don't need more details... (I'm not trying to squash the thread.)
   I have read many such stories, and I believe them. Ever since I was a
child, when faced with a precipice, something within me has said "Jump!!...
and fly!" and I longed to try
... but I have never had the courage, or perhaps, the desperation. I guess
people would call that "sanity"... but to me it is just fear, lack of
faith... chains of the mind.

    A mental image of my crushed body at the bottom, and an epitaph "She
thought she could fly."

   I *reason* that if I could fly, a level takeoff zone would work as well
as a cliff.

So many flying, levitation dreams. Soaring, swimming through the air, or
sometimes just gliding along a few inches above the ground, instead of
walking. Teaching other people to do it too. So real, that the sense of
loss upon awakening, is acute.

   In my life I have witnessed many miracles, large and small. Reasonable
and inexplicable. All of them pointing, in a whispered voice "Reality is
not the solid thing that it appears"... and rarely they happen on demand,
they come of surrender.

"Come to the edge," He said.
  They said, "We are afraid."
  "Come to the edge," He said.
They came.
He pushed them... and they flew.
--Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918) French novelist, critic
