Imagine this; sitting on a high branch with a clear, blue sky above you, green forests has far as you can see behind you, the vast ocean ahead. There’s not a sign of life besides the hum of the insects and rustling of small animals beneath you. You sit there, feeling so alive, but you don’t know what to do besides take in the phenomenal view around you. You breathe slowly, trying to inhale as much of the landscape imaginable, while a light breeze unsettles the leaves and a bird takes flight. As you watch it fly away, you want to know what it feels like, to glide unworringly across the earth. You close your eyes, lift off from the branch holding you back, and feel the sudden shutter of change as your arms turn to wings and your body reshapes.
And you become a bird, flying effortlessly through the air.
Imagine this, because that is all you can do. It’s all we have.
