Awakenings: Let's Go fly a kite!

In one sense of the phrase, telling someone to "go fly a kite" is expressing desire for that person to leave because of annoyance. In other words, you are telling someone who is annoying to go away. Go away! Go away! Get outta' here! Just go fly a kite to make yourself busy!

In another sense, think about an instance where flying a kite made a tremendous impact on how we live today. Yep! Think Benjamin Franklin. It is very doubtful anyone ever told Ben Franklin to "go fly a kite" in any sense of the phrase. But, flying a kite is just what he supposedly did...in the midst of a thunderstorm... while it was lightning! The rest is history being recalled every time we flip a light switch.

In 1964, flying a kite was epitomized in song.

Well, "go fly a kite" is exactly what I am telling you to do! On this day go buy a kite or even better make one, go outside and fly, fly, fly away. Let it soar as you breathe in the fresh air simply enjoying time outdoors. Just don't fly it during a lightning storm!
