My Favorite Place
I have this theory about my favorite place in the world.
I used to work for an event operations company that put on endurance races across the country. We were basically one huge traveling circus that would go from town to town all summer long. We were carnies. It was a great experience for me. I got to do tons of traveling and ended up spending time in places I never would have ever intentionally visited. Like Racine, WI. Even the people who live in Racine don't like Racine. I never need to go there again. But I'm glad I did because now I know what I'm not missing out on.
I spent a lot of time on airplanes when I worked with this company.
Anytime we did an event out west, the travel coordinators would always stick us on the same flight out there, probably cause it was the cheapest option. I loved that flight.
While you would think that an airplane would take you to your favorite place in the world, did you ever stop to think that the actual airplane could be your favorite place in the world?
At 37,000ft you find yourself above the clouds in what I imagine is the one place on earth that is as close to heaven as you can get. When you took off it may have been raining or overcast, but above the cloud line its nothing but serenity. Clear sky as far as the eye can see.
This flight that we always took out west had the perfect timing; it typically took off around sunset. I always made sure to get a window seat for the view. The plane would climb and climb until we'd break that cloud line and then BAM! we were there.
My favorite place is what I call the eternal sunset. I have this theory that if everything holds constant, a plane could fly west and chase the sun around the globe forever, basically living in this place of eternal sunset. Cause if you think about it, the sun is technically always setting somewhere (it's science). And if you could use a plane to always be in that place, then you could live where the sun is always setting. How freaking rad.
I guess this theory would hold true for sunrises too. So maybe if you're a sunrise person, think about this idea from that angle. But don't think too hard cause there's no theme here about "tomorrow never coming" or "new beginnings" or "what are you chasing" or "what are you running from," ok?
I just really stinkin' like sunsets.
