Flight is just a fall that never reaches the ground.

The first time I saw her,
Everything in my head went quiet.

Imagine if fire extinguishers were full
of snow. Imagine the fun we could have.

The thought of flight has melted me, I am less solid than liquid, then I'm going up and going invisible like steam.

What does brace mean, anyway? Brace. Such an odd word. It comes from the Latin brachium, meaning arm. It means, as its heart, to embrace. It was a hug. A hug good-bye.

All in all, for someone who was immersed in, fascinated by, and dedicated to flight, I was disappointed by the wrinkle in history that had brought me along one generation late. I had missed all the great times and adventures in flight.
