"For the air that exists in our atmosphere is as readily available to us inside a coffee shop as it is standing in a field. If we look upwards, even from a widow we say we can see sky but in reality it surrounds us constantly. But when we are standing in an elevated position, such as a tall building, the sky comes to us." When I first grasped that, yes, we are in the sky and able to touch it, I was blown away. Thank you for this gorgeous reminder - you write exquisitely!
It's a stunning image that you've brought to life...I hadn't thought of being able to touch the sky but now I realise I have...I climbed Mount Vesuvius. Just thinking about that sulphur-rich air I can smell it again!
Hello fellow Volcano climber! Isn’t it incredible to think we were standing on something so ancient and made of fire whilst touching the sky? They have a very unique smell 🩵

It is an amazing thought. Nurture that seedling.
Thank you 🩵
I loved reading your story! I travelled to Lanzetote as a child and saw myself in your experience.
Thank you, I hope you enjoyed your travels as a child. They are beautiful islands 🩵
What an experience. Wow.
It felt incredible at the time, as an adult I know understand how huge the experience was 🩵
