Your Seat Cushion Is A Flotation Device Dushka Zapata

On days when I feel alone I pay special attention to things that make me feel supported, like safety nets for acrobats and harnesses for rock climbers and subjects for kings. Sailors have knots and sails and yogis have the floor. This is what I'm thinking as I walk down the airplane aisle looking for my seat and find it and settle in and notice the label right before my eyes. Your seat cushion is a flotation device. The world is full of flotation devices ready for you. Look for them and you will begin to see them everywhere. That's what this book is about. This, and other buoyant short stories.
