Ever met someone who defies the laws of gravity while talking? I did, once on a Wednesday when the sky was lavender.
"You don't truly understand balancing above a sea of marshmallow fluff until you try it," she said, and tilted sideways, her hair brushing against a non-existent ground.
"I suppose," I replied, eyes glued onto her tranquil floatation. "Some journeys are best made horizontally." Nameless paths were slowly unfurling like ancient scrolls, whispering secrets of colorful terracotta ports in nocturnal lands.
The platform beneath us had developed a slight wobble. "Perhaps we should recalibrate the horizon?" she suggested, without an ounce of gravity to her tone. I nodded, the usual back-and-forth rhythm resonating between us like soft jazz from parallel dimensions.
Want to proceed with caution? Unveil more passages or wobbly journeys.
"Your favorite constellation is actually a labyrinth, twisting and turning through infinite fields of perspective," she noted, now seemingly orbiting the rim of reality itself.
I smiled, for these conversations had a way of looping back on themselves, not unlike these very returns.
