The Metaphysics of Skydiving

October 1, 2010Leon Malinofsky, metaphysics, philosophy, poetry

Some lovely reflections from Leon Malinofsky:

Skydiving is three things: It is a submission after years of willfulness; it is wholly absorbing, and therefore distracting from our cares; and it is the rational, peaceful contemplation of death, and eternity made less fearsome.

Excerpt from Why Skydive?
