Sometimes in life we dream big, even expect more of ourselves and others than perhaps we should.
We do our best to bring the pieces together and make them fit our vision of perfection.
We are each unique designs created for different purposes, to fly in various ways.
Sometimes we just need to let go and glide, test the currents a little, trusting our wings....
and glide free.
Master J has spent countless hours designing and building his unique plane for a school subject. He is passionate about design and flight. Late this afternoon he gave it a first test glide, without the motor switched on. So far things are ok, but not perfect.
A little like (my) life, nothing is perfect, questions remain unanswered, our (my) own expectations ever high. Frustration and discouragement lurk, yet God's promises are still true
and we find that another imperfect day is indeed lined with uncommon beauty.

I love the metaphiorical nature of this post. Kites can be so analagous to life can't they?
*metaphorical
Great photos!

Interesting such a plane, probably difficult to control.

That's a great plane, your son has built - that take a whole lot of patience and endurance - a beautiful experience for all of you, to share his joy in flying the plane!

Nie można się zniechęcać porażkami, tylko dalej brnąć do celu. Ostatnie zdjęcie jest bajeczne. Pozdrawiam serdecznie.
You can not get discouraged failures, only to trudge on purpose. Last photo is fabulous. Yours sincerely.
