10,000 ft

It’s crazy to think this thing has the ability to fly. I look out of my rather small window that only fits my head. And peer into to a fluffy abyss. From way up here the clouds look like thick fields of snow as if I could go running across them. But, quickly when the sun sets, the snow fields change into rows of cotton candy ready for me to take a bite. Way up here it seems all my worries wash away, oddly enough I feel at ease and almost, safe.

When the plane reaches 10,000 feet everything seems to smooth out. Here, you can take a moment or two and actually enjoy the world. On a sunny, clear day you’ll be able to see far below into fields and golf clubs and the vast wilderness. Then you reach a city and it all looks like beautifully placed legos guiding your way back to earth. So many things happen at 10,000 feet, but we’re way up here and everyone else is down there.
