It is my first attempt at paragliding, and the thrill has captured every pore of my being.
I feel like God, looking down at the world with its tiny creatures and dwellings. The sea looks like a pond in eternity, with hidden secrets in its depth. Another balloon passes me by, and I see two figures twirled together in excitement. One is familiar, whom I had wanted to be with.
I freeze mid-air, like those icicles I had seen, two years ago, while on a holiday with him. The spikes can cut really deep.
I am not God any more.

It’s hard but she shouldn’t let that cut too deep. Live goes on and there are other fish in the sea–or icicles on the trees. Good writing, Reena. 🙂 — Suzanne

Thanks, Suzanne! It is hard, as long as one refuses to see alternate paths.

Dear Reena, Your story is thought provoking and clever. She will probably be reminiscing in a couple of years too.

Thats brilliant Reena – reminded me of my para gliding experience a few weeks back. The twist takes it to new heights

Forget the twist. Did you get a new perspective on the world? 😊

You really capture the way a lost love can retain its power to hurt us long after the relationship has ended.

If I were paragliding, I wouldn’t feel like God but rather at God’s mercy.
