A room with a view

I can feel my wings expanding even now. Once they have spread out and felt the wind under them, carrying them higher, out into a new world, they will never want to close again. It is powerful knowing that only the open sky and the limits of your own strength will carry you across the horizon. Can one ever return from flight? Only if one is resting in a room with a view.

In the middle

In the middle.
In the middle of a tornado? Bad.
In the middle of a hurricane? Bad.
In the middle of the ocean? Depends on what you're in.
In the middle of traffic? Sucks.
In the middle of a pickle? How fast can you run?
Being the middle-woman? Bad, if you want to be the woman!
In the middle of this? You are still reading.
In the middle of life? Good.
In the middle of a great movie? Good.
In the middle of the night? How tired are you?
In the middle of a rainstorm? Who are you with?
Sometimes you just end up
In the middle.
