This scene has been breaking my heart all weekend. Especially the last six panels. The author grabbed what it feels to leave better than anybody I can think of off of the top of my head. (Image from The Arrival by Shaun Tan.)
But it ain't all buttons and charts, little albatross. You know what the first rule of flyin' is? Well I suppose you do, since you already know what I'm about to say.It's Love. You can know all the math in the 'Verse, but take a boat in the air you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down, tells ya she's hurtin' 'fore she keens. Makes her home.
