Opening Lines:

Weightless. He felt utterly weightless. Joseph stretched his arms out wide, feeling at one with the vast expanse surrounding him. He closed his eyes and lost all sense of orientation. There was complete silence. Suddenly he felt warmth on his back and a gentle breeze blowing the hem of his multicolored robe. It was soothing and inviting. He slowly turned without effort to see the source of the warm breeze. It was the sun, shining in all its glory. Wisps of fire escaped the turbulent ball of red and orange. Strange. how small it looked! He felt close enough to reach out and cup it in the palm of his hand.
