Gravity

Tonight, I went out with my cousins and aunts and mom and sister and had a girls night. We went out for a nice dinner and took a limo tour of DC by night. It was the most fantastic thing.
I just want to give you this morsel of it.
Here we are, my cousin and I, in front of the Lincoln Memorial with Washington's obelisk in the background, shivering in the cold.
We're imagining the world, picturing ourselves on the downside of that little blue ball bobbing among the hundreds of stars we see above us. We're imagining that in this moment gravity is just like a little refrigerator magnet, and if we stand on tiptoe and jump away, we can float off and dance with the constellations.
