7. Heaven

This photo is just incredible. There is an exquisite phenomenon that sometimes occurs in life, always surprising me, its last occurrence always having been forgotten in the rush of events. There are times I wake up in mid-flight over never before crossed foreign terrain, glimpsed through a parting in the clouds, and the moment seems to be at once a grand invitation extended and a preternatural confirmation that choosing to take this particular trip has been exactly the right choice. There is an immediacy and overwhelming satisfaction in that fleeting yet corporeal moment in life – when you know that you are exactly where you are supposed to be, doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing. I think such moments wash over us in retrospect like celestial mile posts met on the still uncharted road map of life’s journey forward. This photo is an amazing representation of that feeling and that moment. Just beautiful.
