If you've ever seen David Parson's "Caught" in a dark theater with strobes in person, you'll think a human being can levitate and fly. I had the experience once, with David himself, and it was indescribable. The physical illusion is a complete and powerful metaphor for the spirit of anyone willing to work long and hard and impossibly focused to attain the rarefied excellence that alone can play out above all expectations and float in its own element. The experience of it from within is a special ecstasy and a joy. Whether you dance with your body or your mind or your heart, in those times that you soar almost beyond any gravity, you are partaking of something unique and revelatory and for which ordinary thankfulness is a very thin soup, when gratitude rises to prayer. And you know: This is it. And then you grow in wisdom and realize that, done right, everything is it.
