A safe place to land may not have been your destination; however, the space was available and willing to shelter you during a time when you needed an emergency landing.

Once you have extinguished all the fires, repaired all the broken pieces, and reprogrammed the motherboard it is finally time to embark your aircraft.

Your journey calls to you.

You stand beside your craft as the sun shines down on you.

Warming you.

Encouraging you to go.

As you prepare to board a sudden stir in the wind makes you stop.

And think.

The unknown awaits.

Doubts about your destination settles in.

Exactly where were you going, anyway?

Here you are in the safest place you have managed to find for yourself.

Peace was found, a new aircraft was built, and a familiarity was formed between the safe place and you.

Boarding the aircraft seems to be the most dangerous thing you have done since landing.

Your heart accelerates because it is dying to stay in order to remain safe.

Oddly, it thumps from the anxiousness to know the unknown.

The engine purrs massaging your chest and gradually your heartbeat slows down.

This too seems familiar.

Sitting in the cockpit you feel the vibrations running through your body relaxing your muscles.

The wind stirs once again and caresses your face.

You close your eyes.

Now, the only thing left to do is fly.
