Nine things I remember about Earth:

Wisps of mists stuck in the grass
The purple colour inside irises
The smell of hot boulders
Fields undulating in the wind like a summer dress
The clashing of clouds in a storm
Determined trees clawing at the sky
Rain on almond blossoms
The perfect light

And a taste of freedom
