Why Crawl?

Acrylic Painting on Canvas, 90x90 cm by Art Noor

Inspired by the writing of Leonardo da Vinci, who never could fly himself physically during his lifetime, but designed many machines that could make us fly. Perhaps he routinely flew in his mind and that made him write,  “Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”

It's the same flight the Rumi means when he said "You were born with wings, why prefer to crawl through life?”
