She felt herself whirling around on a planet spinning through limitless blue space. She had felt this sensation as a child when she lay on her back on the lawn and contemplated the sky and her place on the round globe of the twirling earth.

Beyond the vivid greenery lay a vault of azure sky, where ragged bits of white cloud raced across a blinding white sun. Comprehension slowly returned to her numb brain. She lay on her back on scratchy rough ground, pebbles grating against the small bones of her back, and she was gazing at the summer sky zipping past green swaying treetops. She turned her head slowly to the side in order to still the dizzying effect of moving too rapidly through space. Red-topped clover and wild purple verbena curtained her face. She could smell the black, rich soil that momentarily reminded her of the backbreaking, but spirit-enhancing work she did in Israel. The stalks of purple verbena parted and a hand swam into focus.
