A harsh wind strikes my face with the strength of Goliath. It's icy, frigid, and unforgiving. The wind twists, pulls, and tries with all it's might to fold me. I am not afraid, and dance with this force of nature. My muscles burn but I relish the pain. This is what it feels like to be alive.

I tuck my chin, my slender body slicing through the air. The feeling is familiar, like I've always relished hurtling headfirst towards the Earth.
I want to live in this moment forever. My wings snap open, suddenly, and perfectly. A new wind drifts under my feathers and carries me on it's current.
This is a wonderful dream....
