once had an enormous wingspan

now merely a shortened lifespan 

and the flying is all in my mind

not the reality kind.

I have felt my wingspan going down considerably. Now there are hardly any mornings when I wake up ready to soar the skies. You are lucky to be still flying, even if only in the mind.

It's Okay!
You can still fly into a world with nothing but your heart!

Age and an "I'm happy here " attitude, memories of things done, people met, loved, lost, added to this time of the year make us very reflective. I think Jimmys Chief title sits well with you Jacob.
