I am alive


Without saying a word, she begins dancing. Her energy startles him. She flies. She flutters. While she dances, the walking sounds of the city start to stir and the room slowly fills with the dawn. Finally she rushes to him, panting, glistening and throws herself into his arms.
"I am alive." she says between gasps.
"I have felt heaven."





Reunion, Alan Lightman
