Word: Nepheliad

[one_word]

Like Odysseus on his ten-year trip, I travel the clouds seeking home. I hit speed-bumps sometimes. Sometimes those speed-bumps slow me down. Sometimes they scorch me, spew steam and mud and bring down mountains from the air into which they reach. I must be quick not to get caught up in such turmoil, such terrible tumult. I live amongst thunder of a different kind: audible but intangible, unlikely to toss -- or more like, pull -- me to the ground below.
