Eaten by a Cloud [10.6]


Have you ever flown through a cloud so thick that all you see is unchanging and yet slightly ‘morphic’ white that simply engulfs the plane? While flying to Boston [YAY!! GO BOSTON & MASSHOLES!!!] this happened and I know it sounds silly but I sort of felt like the earth was eating me. [for lack of better term] It was really rather eye opening—oddly it was one of the few moments I saw nothing of the outside world—I really felt like I was subject to the planet and its ways. It was interesting to have a feeling so lacking in control. I mean my safety as well as the safety of a few hundred people was in the hands of two pilots who couldn’t see any more than I.

An interesting feeling.
