cygnoir.net: when the flock moved

  • wirehead · 3 months ago
    Yes, but I still see you as a person who has wings and flies in the sky, not a person who daintily hops along the ground.

    That reality enforces mechanical augmentation upon us to take flight is neither here nor there.

    You are kind to say so. Most of my flying is, to borrow heavily from Douglas Adams, merely missing the ground.

    Great insight. I'm always amazed to see how flocks of city pigeons fly intricately, as a single organism. And "lit­tle, sud­den, sharp, gone" -- reminds me of the end of a L. Cohen song: "And they're gone like smoke/And they're gone like this song."

    I couldn't ask for a higher compliment, David. Thank you!
