At some point, after being secured in, and after the ride begins to grind forward, you begin climbing and climbing. Your body clenches, and your brain fires and fires. You perceive what’s coming, even if this is the first time you’ve gotten on this ride. At the top, a pause, and then, plummeting and plummeting. At some point along the ascent, you are giddy, because you recognize that you have lost all control of your surroundings and what comes next. The exhilarating part is the part where you part your arms up on the way down. It is in the surrender that you feel most present; alive.
