Recently, I met a man who was very similar to a Kite. Let's call him little green kite. The first time we met, he hovered around me with his goofy twist and turns. And I found him amusing.
Being a kite, he's always on the go and had little time to rest. So, when there were days when the winds were slow, he would rest and enjoyed time on the ground with friends, families and his current kite flyer at the time.
When it came to my turn to be the kite flyer, I knew what I was getting into, which was just to temporarily enjoy flying this little green kite. Knowing that this kite was a very pretty kite and has been flying out and about for a long time, both I and the kite knew that it was in the nature of the kite to fly freely, far and wide...
Little green kite always believed that it was a kite that flew without a kite flyer, without strings. However, the nature of a kite was that it always need a stable flyer or a peg to ground it so it does not falter or loose control if the wind got too strong or a storm showed up out of nowhere.
Through out the years, little green kite has gone through various hands and relish in the experience of different techniques, skills and places. Some enjoyable rides, others bumpy near the end. Kite flyers around the world got to fly this pretty green kite, but often only for a only for a short little while because when its strings got too tight, little kite would escape.
Some kite flyers have enjoyed flying this kite so much that they tried to get the kite's attention when it's far away by...
* yanking and pulling on the kite's strings
* playing string guitars to entice the kite to come back, or ...
* reeling in the kite like a fish
However, this would only agitate little kite and the strings would snap on an instance and off the kite would go, never coming back.
Some kite flyers even had to cut the strings to get much needed attention or relief from holding on the strings for so long.
Flying little kite for the long term, however came with a price and the effect on kite flyers varied.
One kite flyer enjoyed flying little kite so much that she agreed to fly it on a rental by day basis, with no strings attached. This was fine for the rental by day flyer (RBD flyer) because she enjoyed flying many different kites of different size, shape, colors....and needed to fly a kite everyday and often multiple times a day. This is something little green kite could never give to RBD flyer. Also, little green kite can also explore flying experiences with different kite flyer around the world. Both would then share their experiences together as friends over brunch or during their kite flying activities. The agreement was mutual.
Unfortunately, one day when little kite came back to the local park, it saw RBD flyer flying 4 or 5 other kites at the same time. Little green kite got disgusted and decided cut the strings from RBD flyer's hand. And RBD flyer hadn't had the slightest idea why. Little kite was just never available for rent anymore and decided to stay away from anymore promiscuous flyers.
Sweet and steady was the preference of little kite and every time the kite felt that its strings were held too tight, it would tell its current flyer that it is a kite with no strings and enjoyed the freedom to fly whenever and whereever. However, as always, each kite flyer could see herself holding on to this string as real as though there was no strings to little kite.
Some kite flyers got frustrated and gave the kite a strong yank and the kite often fell into a patch of mud. And that was the end of most flyer's flying activity with little green kite.
Other long term flyers enjoyed flying the kite so much that they just kept waiting and waiting for little green kite to come back to the local park for flying practice and hopefully, one day, if they practiced enough flying, and waited long enough, they would be the owner of the kite. After years, these long term flyers would then find themselves at the local park and seeing little green kite moved on to flying activities with new and upcoming flyers. Of course, after seeing little kite out and about without a care in the world, these long term flyers would feel distraught and depression would set in.
Little green kite saw this and would then panic. It would then gave its long term flyers the same speech over and over about it having no strings and wanted these flyers to find a stable kite to settle down and have little kites of their own.
Although little kite believed it has no strings, this was in fact the opposite. There were dozens and dozens of strings attached and this grew years after years. As each connections was made, a new string would grow and some eventually mesh into a rope with inter-locking strings, twisting and twirling. When one string got yanked, depending on its location, little green kite would react differently, but often the power of the rope always win.
For instance, if a new the string emerged and the other strings within the rope knew about the new string, the tug and pull of the rope as a whole would be more forceful than the pull of the string. Often, when the new string gets entangled with the rope and not mesh well, it would be cut loose. Little kite had all the stability in the world of a rope, hopping from the comfort from one string to another within the rope. It had the best of both worlds.
One day, something happened. Little green kite met a new kite flyer. However, little that it new, this flyer was in fact another kite. Little Pink kite.
The fact of the matter was that two kites could not last as there were no stable anchorage. The pink kite knew this, but was amused by the dance of the green kite, so it played itself as a flyer. Throughout the park, words that little green kite and little pink kite were flying together and all the strings in the rope started twisting and turning, pulling heavily on little green kite and affecting little pink kite. But the largest jerk was the pull of the pink kite's strings.
Since little pink kite is in fact a kite, it was only natural for it to constantly pull on the green kite's string as it flew on its way. Little green kite did not like this and so is the same with little pink kite's the annoyance of the pull of the green kite's rope. Both decided to depart and cut their strings.
As the little pink kite flew off on its way, an invisible string linked the two together. This invisible string was like an invisible chain. Little pink kite turned to little green kite and says "There is no strings attached, so you should be on your way." However, the table has turned and now little green kite sees a string as real as it's long term flyers sees the rope attached to little green kite.
