The Balloonist's Prayer "May the winds welcome you with softness. May the sun bless you with its warm hands. May you fly so high and so well that God joins you in laughter And sets you gently back into the loving arms of Mother Earth." ~Author Unknown While the author, origins, and exact text are uncertain, the Balloonist's Prayer is commonly recited after every successful flight, and often includes a champagne toast. We wish all of our Pilots and Crews safe flights when they fly at our festival and anywhere else they may go throughout the world.
