Safe in the Arms of the Sky


      Mellow and joyful -- that's how I remember my younger son's 22nd birthday.  He took his brother and me flying.  Piloted us across the city on a grand sightseeing tour . . . then out south over open fields for a few maneuvers and a perfect, smooth landing.   Magnificent.
     We've come such a long way, the three of us.  How right to signify and celebrate our journey by flying free, far above all concerns, safe in the arms of the sky.  Together.
