Growing Up.

It was in the backyard. Maybe the garage.

Your spaceship. Built from scratch. Had a rocket engine so ingenious you spent half your time fending off foreign spies and agents provocateurs.

Your parents laughed. They had no idea the thing worked.

If you had that ship now, here's what you'd do. You'd fly straight up and watch it happening: the fall equinox.

Launch. You're two million miles up (more or less: you never did get that altimeter to work). You see the Earth and the Sun, revolving soundlessly.

Circling, circling. Then...

Magic.

You pull in a deep breath. Northern air. Balsam.

Another breath. Fir. Burning leaves. Fireplace. Marshmallows?

Re-entry. Upon landing, you emerge from the leaf pile, a grinning, giggling, goofy mess.

You feel better than you have in years.
