I'm sitting here at 37,000 feet with a view of planet Earth that I don't too often see. Cars smaller than ants, people not even visible and whole states and land masses like tiny blips. There is something about being strapped in a metal tube, high up in the atmosphere with not but air metal around me. In this moment, it has brought me to this thought. At this view of everything the creation that we have awes me. This world is so incredibly delicate and so wonderfully beautiful.

However, we seem to have lost our connection to this gift. Our appreciation for every day has been depleted and our love for one another is hanging on a dangerous balance. Especially from what I see in light of many recent events we all seem to have fallen into tearing each other apart instead of pulling together as one.

I'm not here to blame a person or a news event, I'm not even here to tell you what to feel or believe. All I want is for each of us to stop and take a plane ride of our own. Now physically you may not be able to, but I'm talking in your mind. For one second why don't you put aside everything dividing us and take all we have and see how blessed we are as people. No matter your view, your belief, or your opinion, let's be people.

Now back to this flight; I actually witness the human side of everyone when in flight. Everyone is together for a period of time with one common goal, get to the location that is set. But along the journey, everyone is talking and meeting new people and sharing stories with strangers. It's like when we isolate our differences and create a scenario of peace we realize our true, understanding selves.

This may seem crazy or maybe a weird comparison but I can at least say this world is a mess and that can change. An airplane flight won't solve it but try going on a journey to understand and listen instead of letting disagreement and hate spew is a great start. It’s time to soar above the confusion and fly into love.

I love hearing all views and different perspectives but we each must not forget that we can all be different but that's never an excuse to be hurtful physically or verbally. We are different but equal. So grab the next flight out and climb up and see all this. Look for the adventure and find the wonderful side of the world in which we live. A world that needs to see more from 37,000 feet. We for sure need to spend less time sitting on the tarmac hoping the plane will move when we are the pilot.
