Finally I touched it; I grasped it; I had the kite in my hand!
But the string was tangled in the branches above and I couldn’t seem to pull it free.
Bryce called, “Break the string!” and somehow I managed to do just that.
When I had the kite free, I needed a minute to rest. To recover before starting down.
So instead of looking at the ground below me, I held on tight and looked out. Out across the rooftops.
That’s when the fear of being up so high began to lift, and in its place came the most amazing feeling that I was flying.
Just soaring above the earth, sailing among the clouds.
Then I began to notice how wonderful the breeze smelled.
It smelled like… sunshine. Like sunshine and wild grass and pomegranates and rain!
I couldn’t stop breathing it in, filling my lungs again and again with the sweetest smell I’d ever known.
Bryce called up, “Are you stuck?” which brought me down to earth.
Carefully I backed up, prized stripes in hand, and as I worked my way down, I could see Bryce circling the tree, watching me to make sure I was okay.
