The Importance of Flying

To fly, we must first remember that we have wings... Mytchell arrived in Seattle penniless and naïve and found refuge in the only place he could afford; a crack house with a drug dealer, an ex-con, and a hooker for roommates. Six years later he was flying the globe as an executive and owned properties around town. Upon an encounter with a Shaman, Mytchell is told that Death is all around him. With this, mystical experiences resurface from his youth and disrupt his comfortable corporate life, they trigger a dramatic, traumatic awakening experience. With seemingly only one choice, Mytchell dropped everything and set out alone on a bicycle. On this modern pilgrimage he meets a host of eccentric, wild, kind and wise characters, who all give him a piece of the map to his deepest self and the mysteries that lay within. As his wheels eat up the miles, he begins to glimpse the secrets behind the constructed self: the bliss that is our birthright and the true nature of reality, beyond the limits of both the physical world and our small, ego-based self-concept. Funny, powerful and packed with wisdom, Mytchell's journey will inspire you to look at your own life, and yourself, in a completely different way... and to let your soul soar.
