PARALLEL GAMES
Shooting through the air she folds her wings to avoid friction. Like a cannonball flying higher and higher until she loses momentum and starts to drop. Half way down she unfolds, spreading her wings, letting the wind catch her and carry her effortlessly back to the top. The birds are having a wind party. Leaping and diving like children in a swimming pool. shrieking and circling each other, avoiding unpredictable tree branches swaying in the wind. All very loud. rustling of leaves as the trees tilt violently from side to side, and the own small plastic container that fell out of the garbage can now was at the mercy of the winds, being thrown back and forth across the sidewalk.
Why can’t I fly like them?
Why can’t you?
I’m a person.
Yas…
I don’t have wings.
You’re a person. you don’t need wings. Just stretch your arms pointing up and then slowly lower them to the sides of your body. Do not let the air slip away from you, command it to stay put and press on it pushing yourself towards the ceiling.
Command the air? How ?!
oh … well, for that you need to learn control.
Control the air ??
Control yourself.
In what way?
In all ways.
That’s impossible! Why can’t it be simple? I just want to feel happy and free!
Go swimming.
