Running from safety: an adventure of the spirit

A dialogue between a middle-aged man and the child within him. In the course of a hand-gliding session the narrator, 50, remembers that as a nine-year-old boy he pledged that when he became an adult he would write a book on everything he learned and give it to himself. Just to keep things impartial, he hires his wife as editor. By the author of Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
