In the moment of unweighting,
in the moment of release from all the cogs,
in the moment of perceiving
what puts us here,
some observations bear a mention:

The flash of infinity
is like light

The rush of freedom
is exhilaration bordering on terror

A racing moment has more ticks
than I can count

Everything is possible,
no protocols have to be followed

In the moment of noticing
how this perception changes everything,
there is power. There is power
and there is peace.
