@ Hilary — It’s so great to see people at their best, and pushing the limits of possibilities.

And it’s great to have the right vantage point to soak it all up. Sometimes it’s the vantage point that makes or breaks the experience.

Hi JD .. I watch in awe and wonderment when I see our Red Arrows or other formations … so pleased you were able to enjoy the Blue Angels from such an amazing vantage point and to share the moments … similar to our recent Olympics that have been very joyous .. actually as has been the year 2012 in the UK ..

Cheers Hilary

@ Jimmy — You captured it — “the sound of freedom” — well put.

@ Rob — Yes, that’s what I see when I see the Blue Angels, the power of human potential.

Thanks for sharing that experience JD. The Amazing feats of the Blue Angels is an experience that speaks directly to the heart-mind. The truth about our own incredible potential as a human being is communicated loud and clear. Roger that!

Communing such as you did during the transient beauty of the Seattle summer—what an awesome way to spend the day! The Angels buzzed my house that day, the sound of freedom like I’d not heard in a while. I envy you your spot & your herd making its way to you. Thanks for sharing, J.D.

@ Hiten — Thank you.

I bet the Red Arrows are a blast. I like the touch of the colored smoke.

@ Tree — It’s always amazing what our bodies remember, even when our minds forget … and vice versa.

A jet just went screaming past my window for the Sunday show. Saturday we had a parade and festival at Judkins park. However, the lemonade is only Crystal Light.

During the first practice last Thursday, I had a moment of pure panic (as did the cats, scattering to hiding places) when the Angels passed directly overhead. I wasn’t in that moment, but back on September 11, 2001, as jets scrambled from Quantico. Sometimes it can be shocking, when our reptile brains demonstrate how completely they can confuse Then and Now.

Hi JD,

This was a great post and I could really sense the excitement you experienced when you went to watch the Blue Angels!

In the UK, we have something similar called the Red Arrows. They fly together in coordination, are super fast and let off coloured smoke. Everyone loves the Red Arrows, both young and old.

@ Evelyn — Thank you.

In retrospect, for the full Summer effect, I should have tossed in a lemonade stand and a Summer carnival to make it complete

Your words always ring rich with wisdom, and help reveal the essence.

What a lovely article to read on a Sunday (for me). It is refreshing.

I enjoyed how you related an event to communicate the key message to us. And yes, when we communicate, we make our feelings known and felt even more.
