Wind n Feathers


The feel of the wind blowing through your hair must be similar to the ruffling of the wing of an eagle.
It is a dark, clear night as you fly through the air, riding on the back of a motorcycle. A lot of people would think it wouldn't be as much fun riding behind someone. Comparing to the person holding the handlebars, the rider can let go.
Not only in the physical sense of not holding on to the driver, but letting go of of all the mindbogging pieces of logic filtering through the pulses of the brain. Closing out everything but the feel and sound of the wind as it passes by and through your soul. Almost as a cleansing of the spirit.
Shutting your eyes, holding your arms out, relaxing the tension. It is like the graceful soaring of an eagle gliding on air currents high in the air. Such freedom, no wonder such a spectacular symbol stands for the courage of American people.
