1:00 PM: flight to Philly; then Munich, Germany
The altitude is startling, and should be terrifying. If i could miscomprehend a little less completely that i am flying 36,000 feet above ground in a fully passengered titanium box; if i could actually believe that the brown ribbons below were rivers, the grey splotches towns; the Earth sectioned off like a Monopoly board actually my Earth-- Good Lord. Thank God that i am frightless and mainly mostly ignorant.
At such altitudes one believes that one can see the tilt of the Earth. This should make me feel either invincible or very, very small. I have not decided which is preferable. Perhaps I am neither; or both.
