Currently revisiting an old classic, Intensity, published way back in '96.
"'... sometimes I dream that I can fly.
I'm always naked and just floating or swooping along fifty feet above the ground, over telephone lines, across fields of bright flowers, over treetops. So free. People look up and smile and wave.
They're so delighted to see that I can fly, so happy for me... floating through sunshine with flowers below and birds swooping overhead, birds with these gorgeous iridescent-blue wings and singing the most fantastic birdsongs you ever heard, and I feel as if I'm full of dazzling light, just a creature of light, and like I'm going to explode, such an energy, explode and form a whole new universe and be the universe and live forever.
You ever have a dream like that?'"
