“I was on the road despite the holiday. The wintergreen daydream softly collided and took all my headaches away.” –Alaska, Sky Sailing It’s summer vacation and has been for about a week.

Her blue eyes lit upon the nest. The nest was compiled of many little tunnels twined within each other, next to each other, […]
The innumerable caves were twisting, turning passages never ended. Perhaps it was a maze. She kept walking, shuffling through the misty clouds that swirled around her feet. They felt nothing like mist. It looked like an almost liquid mixture of powdered snow and the fluff of the bunny rabbit she had encountered a few passages […]
Did you know that the word “astronaut” used to mean: astro: star, celestial naut: ship, sailing, sailor So it meant “star sailor”. I found this during an etymology lesson and was pleasantly surprised. It reminded me a lot of sky sailing!
