Awandering in the shadows of Brooklyn, NY

Never thought I could fly, but this is sufficient proof maybe? Today was a slightly overcast day, but still with the weather being near-perfect, I wandered Brooklyn with my friend afoot for the entire day. It’s one of the small wonders to passively observe the subtle happenings of life: a young woman walking her dog, lovers lounging on the grass gazing over the distant skyline, two elderly gentlemen in mid conversation gesturing with their hands, children chasing pigeons, etc. In retrospect, I can imagine what other people must have been thinking observing my friend and me – here were two full-grown adults frolicking like children running along the grass, then meditating, and then doing performance-art jumps without a care in the world.  Maybe this really is flying, or as close to it as earthly possible?
