    Adrenaline can become an addictive (and at times lethal) drug in itself. Pushing the boundaries should always be tempered by the value of one's life. Some will say, Dean Potter's wish finally came true. Thank God his dog "Whisper" was spared the same tragic fate. Forty-three was merely half his lifespan and much too young to stop living this incredibly beautiful journey . RIP Dean. ~oO(♫)Oo~ PS. Your best friend "Whisper" is missing you and still awaiting your return.

    Wow, this man is a legend. I thought i was fearless, but i have a way 2 go.
    He is a master of ascension... Peace Within and meditation allows this.. And
    other characteristics that he has studied and practiced. He is a expert on birds and
    says he has special connection with them. Especially the flight process. Also a
    top athlete, rock climber, etc...
