Allen L Roland's Radio Weblog
My ongoing theme is always the truth , as I see it , and the exposure of lies, deception and manipulation wherever they exist. I remain firmly convinced that the world can no longer resist its innate urge to unite and co-operate with one another and we are very close to the point where war can no longer be an option if this transformation is to occur.

Breaking the Sound Barrier

Allen L Roland, Ph.D.

 

THE BLUES ARE BACK  IN S.F. 
 

As a former Navy jet pilot I wanted to share with you what it not only looks like but what it feels like to be going  straight up into the blue in tight formation ~ something that many men dream of but few live.

Unfortunately I could not insert the photo on this site but I can atleast share the feelings.

The blue angels do it every day  but their maneuvers are taught to all Navy and Marine combat pilots.    

I fully lived it for five years  ~ but only the immortal words of former RAF Fighter pilot William Gillespie Magee Jr can full justice to what it truly feels like to be an eagle.

                            High Flight

Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings.
Sunward I’ve climbed and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds—and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. 
 
Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air,
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark or even eagle flew.

And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high, untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand and touched the face of God.

                            ---------------------------

All of this however was but a prelude to the high flight of fully surrendering to love ~ which is  when I touched the true face of God.
