Picture: A family trip on what seems like a long time ago. Lily and the Seagulls. 

“The opposite of earth is space; you need to become a human to match the two, my darling. Or a bird. There are only  two possibilities. If you choose a different incarnation, you will never connect them. Until another life, of course. I would choose a human form in your place, even though a bird form is more appealing on the first sight.” Almighty paused and took a sip from very fresh, almost crispy wine.

“Why, why, I love flying, flying is freedom,” the soul shouted.

“That is why. You will get the chance to learn that roots give you as much freedom as wings. So, that is decided.” The Almighty has left the glass suspended and stretched in the Eternity.

That is why Alexandra has come to the world as a pig-tailed, freckled, round-shaped girl with an immense desire to fly.
