I'm hanging out in the courtyard of my University with a few childhood friends who I have seen in many years in waking life. We are sitting on a stone slab in the shade of a young oak tree when some nearby youths offer my Korean friend an opium pipe. He has never smoked opium before and, since we are in a school environment, I advise him to take just a few puffs, lest he become lethargic (as one is prone to do when one partakes of that dreamy drug). Choosing to refrain from the resin, I open my backpack and remove a delicate, thin-stemmed, and convex pipe made from a milky pearlescent ceramic. Mary Jane lies prepared in the pipe and proceeds to seduce me with her lustful looks and erotic aroma. She does not fail to satisfy.
We then head to the nearest building, having concluded our session, and descend a flight of stairs to the basement where we are greeted by my math teacher from high school. It has been many years since I have seen him and he greets my mischievous nature with an all-knowing smile that effectively communicates "I know you're full of nonsense you little bugger". Putting on my very best poker face, and poker walk and talk, I float down the hallway to the classroom.

The symbolism of flight comprises a variety of elements. The most
basic derives from the pleasurable sensation of movement in a medium that is
more subtle than water and unfettered by gravity. But, this apart, flying implies
raising oneself and is therefore closely connected with the symbolism of level, not
only in connexion with moral values but also with the notion of superiority
applied to other qualities, such as power or strength. Diel has pointed out that the
importance of the ‘rise and fall’ image—as illustrated in the myth of Icarus in
particular—is corroborated by a great many authors (15). And Bachelard has
observed that ‘of all metaphors, only those pertaining to height, ascent, depth,
descent and fall are axiomatic. Nothing can explain them but they can explain
everything.’ Flight has also been conceived as the ‘transcendence of growth’.
According to Toussenel, in Le Monde des oiseaux, ‘we envy the bird his good
fortune and endow with wings the object of our love, for we know by instinct
that, in the sphere of complete happiness, our bodies will enjoy the power to
wheel through space as the bird flies through the air’ (3). Flight is related to space
and light; psychologically it is a symbol of thought and of imagination.

The 12th-century writer Alan of Lille, in his De planctu naturae,
describes Nature as an allegorical figure wearing a diadem set with jewels in
imitation of the stars: twelve stones symbolize the signs of the Zodiac and seven
stand for the Sun, the Moon and the five planets (14). This concept is wholly
astrobiological in character, since it partakes of the tendency to bring the discipline of numbers to bear upon living things, and to infuse the astral, the mineral
and the abstract with the vital forces of plant and animal life.
