To be able to cover the vast and open distances of the desert must be the envy of all others.
No doubt the rabbits and squirrels must gaze at the presence of outstretched wings overhead with trepidation, but also a longing to feel the freedom of the skies, to no longer be bound by the limits of gravity.
Come to think of it…me neither.
As long as I can remember I have had a recurring dream of flight, gliding over the hills below me with ease. Needless to say, going to sleep is often much more interesting and enjoyable than waking up.
But, how do they land on all those spines without getting pierced?
