Aeroplane

The other day I saw an airplane flying in the sky. Now, I know this is an everyday occurrence for most people, but for some reason I took more notice to it than normal. Anytime I see a plane flying the question that always pops into my head is " I wonder where it is heading?" and for some reason the other day I took that even further.

I began to think of this airplane and where it's destination was. I thought about the people who were on it and their reason for that flight. Were they heading to a vacation and filled with elation, were they heading back from a trip and dreading returning to the real world? Maybe someone was on a business trip and missing his/her family. Were there people who had family or friends in need and were on their way to help them? Was someone reuniting with someone far away that they hadn't seen in awhile? There were a billion possibilities. but all of them related to some type of human connection in my mind.

As I saw that plane, it made me think of the greatness of human relationships. What makes the world evolve is love and friendship. Connections are so important, they are essential to life. I know that I wouldn't be where I am today without all of the connections I have had in my lifetime. Each encounter with a person has done something to shape who I am.


I wish all of those people luck on their journeys, whatever they happen to be.

Hey I think that very same thing when I see a plane, except I'm always jealous because I love traveling. I can imagine your emotions would be a little different since you hate flying.
