    When there’s a smile in your heart There’s no better time to start Think of all the joy you’ll find When you leave the world behind And bid your cares goodbye You can fly! You can fly! You can fly! You can fly! You can fly!

    EDIT: It appears that another party has published the contents of my journal before me, currently with a resounding 15 upvotes. I believe this previous poster is a farce. A Telvanni spy sent to ridicule my work.

    "I believe I may have found the correct formula for the spell I am developing. With it, I will be able to travel great distances without the need to pay others for the service.

    If all goes well, I will test out the new spell tomorrow. I believe I have worked out all of the possible complications. It will allow me to leap great distances, covering many hundreds of miles. Never before has one been able to travel in this manner: vaulting from the ground, sailing through the sky, all without that terrible disorientation of a spell of flying.

    The time is almost upon me. My research is finished, and all of my calculations are checked and rechecked. They laughed at me when I suggested this. We’ll see who laughs after I leap to the top of their towers and scream out my success."

    I remember when New Age sold me on Idealism.

    Here’s the thing. It’s bullshit.

    History has many examples of men who fell to their deaths believing God would stop the fall.

    One of them was actually a guy who claimed to be the second coming of Jesus. Claimed he’d miraculously fly on a donkey.

    Fell right off the cliff and debunked his whole religion he did.

    My elementary school classmate Seth did this, he wound up with a broken leg. Although he did hedge his bets with an umbrella, maybe that ruined it.

    A friend of mine came close once. In Morrowind, he made a jumping potion that allowed him to clear the entire island and two jumps. one from the edge of the map to the top of the mountain, and then another one to the other edge of the island. He got stunned at the end of that last fall and drowned in about a foot of water.
