About This Quote

For a couple of minutes, we thought that we would never have to stop moving. So excited were we at the thought of endless movement that we couldn't believe our luck. We had forgotten that even with all the excitement and seeing things from a new perspective, life would not be like this forever. Just when we thought our joy was permanent, it was gone in an instant.
