I recently got the privilege of flying in to Chicago O'Hare when the sun was setting and out when dusk had set. I have to say, from thoudands of feet, Chicago is one of the most beautful cities in twilight. There are moments like that where I, and I may be the only one, have some odd things on my mind besides the unique beauty outside the small window. I always wonder who is watching my airplane. At that moment someone is seeing us from the opposite perspective and the paths of our lives have crossed. Are they wishing they were on this plane, no matter where it is going? I often wish I were on the planes that I see above me and I wonder if they are wondering back.
Also, I could have been so much more productive if airplanes had wireless. Oh well I suppose that they are being wise. Although, if I know myself at all I probably would have stared out the window anyway. Sometimes that is just what you need... simply to stare out the window. The mind can be most entertaining.

airplanes might be the last place of rest for the modern man. If they put wireless up there it might be the end of civilization as we know it. I love flying too though. and i love you
looking out a plane window is one of the best feelings in the world. its a reminder of just how tiny and insignificant we really are on our own. I think we are significant because we interact with other people.
