“You are never given a dream without also being given the power to make it true.”
~ Richard Bach
UNbelieveable
That Auvergne guidebook –
it traveled with me from Berlin,
through Ireland, France, Belgium,
its pages worn, its promise patient.
All I wanted was to see the volcanoes,
those ancient sleeping giants I’d dreamed about for years.
But the wind, the sun, the snow…
they had other plans.
The bitter cold bites into my skin,
the sun warms my face,
the snow sparkles like scattered stars,
and still… here I am, on top of the Puy de Dôme.
I dared.
I am brave.
I listened to the instructor’s voice, confident and knowing.
I am safe.
The harness tightens,
the canopy inflates, and suddenly… I am flying.
I am actually Flying… paragliding, over the Puy de Dôme,
right in the heart of Auvergne.
So light.
So free.
A bird, a whisper,
a fleeting shadow.
The cold etches my smile,
the sun catches my tears,
the snow holds my footsteps.
I am in awe.
No words remain,
only this:
an UNbelievable WOW.
