Go fly a kite!

From the March 1980 issue of The Christian Science Journal


If you ever did, you already know. If not, you can (1) observe, (2) take an old flyer's word for it, or (3) even as Benjamin Franklin did, go fly one and find out for yourself that kites take off against the wind, not with it!

Of course, the aerodynamics of kite flying are of no significance if you're mentally content to just breeze along with the breeze of material, mortal thinking; with the general belief that substance, intelligence, even life itself, are in matter.

Aerodynamics, however, can be most encouraging if you're striving to rise above this false sense to the consciousness of God's absolute allness and your individual perfection as His spiritual image—and not at some far future time but right now, right here.
