Sensing the Universe

"Uni-sensory perception is sensing the universe. It's not exactly hearing or seeing or feeling, it's more like getting a sense of something, not in the regular way but in a magical way. It's like picking up on nonverbal cues." -The Incredible Magic of Being by Kathryn Erskine

Asterisks

*** I like to use asterisks because they remind me of stars. ***

Bike in Place

Mom says physical exercise is healthy and important but it’s risky and dangerous. So, I have a bike but it’s stationary. She’s too worried I’ll fall and injure myself to let me out on the open road. Or even the open driveway. But I have complete freedom to bike in place as long as I wear a helmet.
