Rock climber and Wing Suit BASE Jumper, Steph Davis speaks about her desire for flying, even after the recent accidental death of her fellow jumper and husband, BASE Jumper Mario Richard. She describes the human desire for feeling joy which comes from flying alone with only a thin veil of nylon fabric between your body and the force of the wind. It is not a rush for adrenaline as some might choose to believe. It is a desire to be free of fear if even momentarily—of choosing to Be in a state of fearlessness where you can feel the vastness of life and all the beauty it holds. It is fear that masks the beauty of life with its formlessness. And if you merely deny fear you become its shadow. It is in this formless state that some of those in the throes of fear feel the need to perpetuate fear or darkness on others. This is the most tragic human state. Steph Davis knows better. She chooses to fly.
