Guiding the Bucket On skis not mine, not physically attached to me. Yet the first time that sweeping turn, Engaged, with fluid motion, Edges engaged, Bringing us both, down and around, Was beautiful. That motion of which I dream, Of my joyful experience. A motion of perfect fluidity, Is oh so freeing, and sensory from head to toe. Like a stroke on velvet, A comfort, a happiness, an exhilaration, an ease, Born of a perfect mix of nature’s snowy gift, balance and abandon, Two people moving in unison, Allowing that feeling, over and over in rhythmic repetition, As long as the hill and the body’s stamina permits.
