Like The Sky, part 1

Falling is a unique feeling. There is a sense of enormous heaviness as one begins falling, and then a sudden and inexplicable sense of complete weightlessness as you plummet through the the air towards the center of gravity. throughout falling, only one thought seems to enter a person's mind: landing is going to hurt.

And it almost always does. You can sometimes roll out of a hard fall, but there's always a jarring impact.

So imagine falling from the sky. Correction: from the sky to the ground. Thousands of miles. Even though you can't possibly fathom it, try to imagine the pain that would come from that impact. Hint: It would hurt a lot.

I know, because that is where I fell from. It was a long journey, my fall, and it ended in fire and pain. And trees.

Lots of trees.
