Elevation.
It was as if we were trying to outrun the night. That was how i felt as the plane flew further away from Melbourne and closer towards home. Eventually the night caught up. Inevitable. At the elevation of 40,000 meters and flying at an average speed of 900 km/h, dusk fell upon us and the sky painted itself in a unique blend of purple and ochre. I blinked. As my eyes opened slowly, the stars chose that moment to reveal themselves to me. I felt as if i could just brush them with my fingers. I never felt closer to Heaven as i did at that moment. A truly special moment.
