Let’s Fly Under the Stars

Lets Fly Under the Stars!

We felt like We almost died but I know that We both have never felt more alive (at least not in a while).

dramatic… I know, it’s more fun that way though!

I wore three pairs of pants waterproof hiking boots with two pairs of thick, fuzzy socks a hat and gloves and about five layers of shirts plus My jacket and You the same.

We only had one sled but when have either of Us known a life without sharing?

I drove, the roads were dark and slick with black ice not to mention it was around 8pm on a midwest winter night. the park dark and empty alone stood that great hill, covered in sheets of ice and snow. one lone parking lot light pole faced the hill and shone on the top … waiting.

We screamed and laughed while jumping out of the car. I grabbed my gloves and You carried out the sled. You didn’t know but that was the one I’ve used every winter since I was ten. it was a multi-colored Sno-sprint plastic sled with the twine yellow rope.

the deep yellow, mixing in with the red and green, and a little bit of blue in the middle (where all of the colors meet).

Wow! That hill is so huge! I’ve never been sledding on one this tall!

I smiled and watched the solo light from the parking lot shine in Your eyes, then laughed when I saw the breath from Your lips release and cloud ~ puff ~ upwards.

We climbed everest and huffed in the sharp, single digit cold air. reaching the top We noticed that it was completely coated in ice. solid ice that could break a hip not ice that crackles when you simply step on it. Let’s go!

Was this a bad idea?

I slammed the sled down and it began to slide backwards. We scrambled to catch it both of Our eyes wide. I steadied it and You slowly crawled on and positioned Your legs. I handed down the rope and We both waited in the silent night. I looked up at the stars. the sky was so black and the stars so clear, so bright. around each little Well, we are already here, it’s too late now.

circle of light was a purple or blue ring. I had a thought…

then … I let You go

( maybe more of a push )

and You did just that, You flew under those stars that night and when it was My turn to fly I figured that was what had officially sealed the deal…
