Do you remember when we used to fly like the Eagles in the Sky?
I had forgotten once…
And the Eagles came to remind me.
A giant Eagle, so beautiful, landed in front of me. He asked me, if I’d fly with them.
I wondered how; I didn’t know what he meant would I climb on his back? Could he handle the weight?
He just looked at me sadly.
They made you forget… that you know how to fly… He said…
And I just looked at him.
I felt him stretch his wings out, that I could climb on his back
And I remember flying with him and all the Eagles… the exhilaration of it being in the sky and feeling like I myself was half bird, half human amongst the eagles as we flew downwards and landed on the shore.
Do you remember when we used to fly like the Eagles in the Sky?
The exhilaration like a roller coaster, but better – when we were landing?
The way we flew amongst the clouds and would lose each other only to find one another again? On the other side?
And how the thick forests below would look, all the trees like little fields of what you could call broccoli today…
Tiny but so vast.
Do you remember the jump take off and we’d pick up the up current and glide upwards on the drift…
It was amazing.
Do you remember what it felt like?
It was the feeling of Freedom.
Like you could go anywhere, and do anything no matter what. No matter how far away it felt… like the Sky was the limit, and we could just soar off into it no matter the distance.
I was on a Harry Potter ride at Disney World once and it felt like that… like flying.
There’s just the joy in it that bubbles up from inside and bursts outward and you are the happiest you’ve ever been and you know nothing except this burst of adrenaline and ecstasy and joy.
This… Oneness.
I felt it one time before, in another way… with you, and I.
Oneness.
Where everything else just dissolves away into the feeling – of You and Me.
Whole and complete.
Maybe we’ve all been trying to fly, wishing to fly – to go back to that place where it was just you and me – whole and complete.
Where we were One in body, mind and soul.
This is how…
To return Home to the place where we were I before the stars began to shine
As was her desire
And Mine.
