A little Zelda's Inferno exercise: freewrite on the phrase "floating at the top of the arc"
floating at the top of the arc, weightless, like an astonaut training flight, to go up and hang in the sky, and be free of the grip of the ground. floating at the top of the arc, the sweet moment in between the work and the decay, between the crushing launch and the crushing fall. floating at the top of the arc, the one perfect moment, that can only be found mathematically, not in the actual experience, a single point of inflection. floating at the top of the arc, floating at the top of the arc, rising and falling and rising and falling actions of plots.
each life is many arcs, rising and faliing and in between, just for an instant,
one floating moment of climax, of beauty, of divinity.
