"This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.
-- Rumi."
"'If you close your eyes and just..take in all that's around you, picture yourself amongst the clouds, at home with them, you can fly', she said, observing me with the keen, critical eye of a teacher. She was usually much more laidback than this, its just that now was a special moment, something we'd planned for ages, and couldn't afford to mess up. She'd taken me to her favorite part of the Raville Hills; Turlin Point, this cliff that was barely 17 feet above sea level, but had some of the most beautiful scenery of the water, and the beautiful night sky, if you knew what time to be out here, like she did. She brought me here to teach me how to fly. Sounds silly, I know. It was her thing, she'd teach me how to 'fly', but not in the literal sense, this was her way of bringing us closer together, think of it like a double date with nature.
What she was to do was to see the hills and skies from her viewpoint, so she'd paint this word picture and sort of guide me into her subconsciousness, she was very in tune with her spiritual self, and often projected her astral existence. I'd never seen it, but she'd enter this meditative state and then her body(vessel) would go limp for like 30 minutes and then she'd open her eyes again....look, it's difficult to put in words, what she was trying to help me do. Think of it like two Disney characters...say..Nala and Simba, right? So they go to the favorite spot for one of the two, like Simba's forest, and just bond and all that, and after the experience, they're more in tune with each other, and more connected as a couple, think of it like that. That's sort of what we did. She eventually got me to do it, and we were projecting ourselves for hours. We probably kissed a few times, or as close to kissing as astral forms can do. When we got back into our physical bodies, she told me she loved me, and admitted that she'd had her doubts, naturally. Then we just lay in the grass a while longer, cuddling each other."
