One Minute Moment: Falling

Falling was one of the most exciting times in my life. I spent most of my time running the rat race, trying to find that one comfortable place to stop and rest for a while. But occasionally I get to fly in the air, up to join my group until jump time. Then the thrill comes, reaching terminal velocity quickly, the air rushing past in a gale force. This beats the drudgery of sitting in heavy traffic along with a multitude of others, all going who knows where. It never stops, that procession. But when I get to come up for air, with the sun shining down, I could never ask for more. I love the trees too and other plants, don't get me wrong, they are a lot of fun. Animals are too, but I'm never truly free until I get in the air. I always dread touchdown though. It means I'll be on the ground for a long time. Or at the bottom of a lake or worse the ocean. But that's life as a water drop.
