Here's a little something I may not have told you. I recall once when I was living in Arizona - I had a favorite spot I'd go to from time to time just to get away from it all.
It was a quiet spot - had a building that was only used on special occasions and therefore not many people went there. They had a quiet place to park and the building owners were tolerant of my parking there - occasionally others would park there as well.
On this one day, a small plane took off from the airport that was adjacent to this area. It didn't really catch my eye at first but after a short time I noticed that the plane was making all these aerobatic maneuvers - doing rolls and - I'm not sure what all of the maneuvers are called and it was gradually edging, with all of these maneuvers, it was gradually edging towards the area I was parked in.
I recall getting out of the car because the plane started diving towards my exact area where I was parked. I couldn't tell whether the pilot was having trouble with the plane or not.
It was a one engine plane - a small craft. I could see the pilot. He was getting closer and closer. He appeared to be talking on the radio and I don't know to whom but his eyes were wide open and the fact that I can report that tells you how low the plane was.
The plane was literally headed in such a way as I thought for a moment - he's going to crash right into the car and at that moment I felt a surge of energy come into me and having had the opportunity to be of service this way once before I lifted - is the only way I can describe it - a degree of energy just lifted - it's hard to describe it in words - and the plane did this amazing thing.
The plane passed over my car and - if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes I'd find it hard to believe - the plane going very fast almost crashed into the parking lot behind me. It seemed to turn almost in an impossible way.
Coming in at a steep angle it suddenly banked - if that's the term - it suddenly shot upward. I didn't think a plane could do that.
I'd like to think that what I did with co-operation and with great appreciation on my part of the energy - I didn't think it was capable of doing that - but the plane literally came in at the most unbelievable angle and then suddenly shot straight up in the air.
After it did that it did a long slow turn around over the airfield and the last time I saw it, it was landing on the landing strip. I don't know what the pilot had to say after that but it certainly gave me something to think about.
Well, that's the story of my adventure. Goodlife.

An interesting post Robert, I am not sure what to make of it exactly but it struck some curiosity in me both about your experience with what happened-energy and plane headed toward you and the fact that I am on a trip to the southwest which I am calling an adventure of art and energy. Perhaps just a curious coincidence but the themes are very similar with energy and adventure and southwest. It makes me feel a little fruitless about my own adventure actually, but maybe I am projecting. All in all the post got me thinking.
