What do you call diving into the sky ?
Can you actually do that ?
Isn't that jumping ?
Then what's flying, swimming in the sky ?
But you can fly without jumping too, as long as you're in a higher ground, right ?
You just drop and then fly.
Then is flying not swimming in the sky ?
It can be, isn't it ?
If you consider going to the higher ground as taking steps down into the pool,
and the dropping is letting go of the poolside ladder, am I wrong ?
How does it feel to go through clouds ?
Can you feel the water inside them ?
Do you avoid the ones with water, and how can you do that if you can ?
Don't you feel cold, flying ?
Why don't you have thicker feathers or even fur to protect you ?
Why do you feel so vulnerable, just swimming into the biggest swimming pool that has no end ?
Swimming and flying are different after all, aren't they ?
Can you show me, how to fly, and not swim ?
You don't have to feel vulnerable. Its your playground. You don't swim to win, you swim to play, to live.
Not everything is a competition, nothing was meant to be one.
You don't represent anyone else, you are you. You weren't meant to swim, not for your family, your country, not for anyone.
You're a bird, so fly.
And help me.
