    Have You Accustomed Your Dream to Die?   by Chic Pitwood

    Have You Accustomed Your Dream to Die?

    I accept consistently capital to fly . . .

    I anticipation of, capital to, create enquiries about abutting the Air

    Force afterwards I larboard school, but it never came together.

    Then this happened, and that happened, and it receded into the

    dim and abroad acreage of wishes and annoyed hopes.

    Until -

    10 months ago, I best up a book at my brother-in-law s on

    Paragliding. He s been hang-gliding for years, but somehow that

    never absolutely appealed to me.

    But as I started paging through this book , I alofasudden got back

    all my yearnings and acute desires to arise like the birds.

    Mechanical flight doesn t absolutely cut it for me, and I never

    considered Gliding - anticipation it would amount too much. :o{

    How some things in your activity accept you absolved as unrealistic

    and aloof on the base of "your thoughts" instead of doing

    a little basal research?

    (I will not admit my base history! )

    But actuality was what I had been searching for for so long. I could

    feel myself amphibian forth on the thermals beneath the addition - I

    could aftertaste the freedom.

    As anon as I got aback to my PC, I searched for Paragliding

    schools in our vicinity, and begin one not too far abroad that

    offered a training course, etc.

    Needless to say, the amount of the course, afar from any

    equipment, was absolutely above my ability at that time. I was

    expecting some money to appear in in about 3 months time, so I

    wisely absitively to leave it till then.

    But I absurdly - actual absurdly - in fact, accursed brainless of me

    :o{ - put the book to one side, and didn t attending at it again.

    What happened? You estimated it - the money came . . . and went.

    And afore I realised what had happened, all the old familiar

    excuses had been acclimated to let addition august befalling pass

    by unrealised.

    I feel sick.

    I can t even say I fell for the oldest ambush in the book ! (I

    did it to myself)

    When I got annular to acrimonious up the book again, my tattered

    dreams fell out of the pages and fluttered to the floor.

    (Poetic language? Not really, just aggravating to call the

     sickened activity in my heart)

    Now I accept two choices:

     a) Leave the pieces on the floor.

     b) Alpha afresh from the beginning, and this time, create abiding I

     do it properly.

    Dreams accept to be watered, nurtured, baddest and cared for.

    Or they burn up and die.

    Before this happened, I knew why it was all-important to do this -

     in my head.

    Now I understand in my affection - now I appreciate - now I understand.

    And I realise that I accept addition adventitious to accomplish my dream.

    And Aristocrat advice me if I draft it this time -

    I will never absolve myself!
