What Am I?

I'm light, but I have no light
I'm big and yet small
I'm distant and close
I circle but don't spin
I can be showing but not seen
What am I?

Letter to the US

Dear Parents,

            I am in Austria hiking the beautiful mountains and going everywhere I can on foot. It has been an amazing and a tough journey. I am at the end of my trip and I have found something life changing.

            I was walking through a dense forest full of life and death. Everything felt so different, so magical. I lost my sense of direction and reckoned I should head back to civilization but something kept pulling me in. I was exhausted and starving but my body would not be led off its track. I was at the brink of death when I saw a beautiful opening in the middle of the dense forest.

            As I walked onto the patch of grass, I saw a gorgeous dining table and a massive refrigerator in the middle of the opening. Before I had the chance to ask why such things were there, I flew over to the refrigerator and opened its gigantic doors. As the gates opened, I felt like my bones had turned to jelly and my brain had turned into liquids. I examined all of the food in the cool closet and my mouth started to water immensely when I set my eyes upon a steak big enough to feed our whole family. All cooked and ready, the steak tempted my stomach. And just by instincts, I grabbed the steak and took it to the dining table to devour it. As soon as I took the first bite, I was in love. Every bite I took, I fell more intensely in love. But before I knew it, I was down to the last bite and a wave of sorrow drowned me in tears.

            I walked over to the refrigerator again after the last bite and opened the door. What I saw blew me out of my mind and a drop of water trickled down my face. I saw another massive steak. I fell in love with that refrigerator that day and I intend to stay with my love for the rest of my life. I wish not to leave this place until death does us apart. This is goodbye.

                                                                                                Sincerely,

                                                                                                Your Son.
