Flying in the Middle of Art

"He unrolled the scroll of the air, extended it, and bent it into Mobius strips; he furled line in a thousand new ways, as if he were inventing a script and writing it in one infinitely recurving utterance until I thought the bounds of beauty must break." --Annie Dillard

I think that this is a beautifully written sentence. Annie Dillard expresses how awe-inspiring it was to watch Dave Rahm fly, and with sentences like this, I wanted to be there, too. The trick to making life appear as wondrous and beautiful as some writers do is description. The way that you describe something, and describe it in a uniquely-you way, can change the reader's whole perception on that subject. I've never watched an air show, but this gave me a pretty clear picture. That's another trick of good writing--always make sure that the description can be easily visualized.
