Racine, Wisconsin | I saw this and started thinking of Walt Whitman verse that could be applied as well... but as I perused his works I began to wonder if the man had been hit in the head one too many times during a gybe...

Long Island, NY | I like yours better, jake. (After all, if your harness is on your back, you're trapping face down, right?) (The well known "face washing" stance)

| How about plagiarizing from John Gillespie Magee Jr's famous poem "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 tum-
bling 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 untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of
God."

Long Island, NY | Wow.
One heckovan evocative poem. How 'bout a minimalist aproach, using just two lines from the middle...
"... I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air... "
-- John Gillespie Magee Jr "High Flight"
