If I had wings

I was browsing through the official website of one of my favorite artists, Keith Haring, and found a quote from an interview that I just loved. Haring was working on an art project with kids in Chicago, and one of the kids wrote on the mural, "I WOULD FLY IF I HAD WINGS AND SOMEWHERE TO FLY." I almost cried; as a kid I regularly fantasized about flying away, but outgrew the habit when I realized that there really wasn't anywhere for me to escape to.

Whether that was the actual implication behind that Chicago kid's art installation, I don't know. I hope not. But there's nothing wrong with being wistful every now and then.
