Rolling Thunder Upwards
Glittering so restless they can hardly stay still on the tarmac, enticing you with their powerful elegance, pulling you in like creatures from Greek mythology. Why wouldn’t they? You’ve wanted the freedom of flight since you were a child and your eyes fell on your first bird moving effortlessly in the sky.
Next thing you know, you’re up above the clouds, your heart singing with excitement. Like a heard of thoroughbreds stinging under a spur, the powerful engines vibrate through your body, and your pulse begins to race faster than thought itself. The feeling up there makes you smile not only with your mouth, but with your soul, your eyes, and your whole skin. You feel like a child again; alive, safe, above your worries, above the pain and stress of life.
Then begins that elegant flight that ever afterwards makes any other form of transportation seem dull. For mountains, valleys, lakes and rivers flash by like scenes in a beautiful dream.
