Anyone who has flown on a plane has likely encountered turbulence at some point in their travels. For those with fear of flying, it can be a rather anxiety-inducing experience. I myself have experienced that once or twice when flying through particularly tough weather conditions. This piece, through the use of an uneven 7/8 meter, portrays both the turbulent air and the fear that can come from one's encounters with it. It can also serve as an excellent vehicle for teaching 7/8 meter to a second or third-year group.
