I am eternal

Here's a story from my younger days-

The sound of thunder all around, I throw back my head in defiance. It cannot touch me. Alone I stand on the edge of a cliff looking down at the stormy water 30 feet below me. I raise my arms, outstretching them, so the cliffs in the distance fit between my fingertips. Now I am holding the world. The sky beats torrents of rain down on me, I am soaked to the bone and cold. My body shivers but I don't even notice, I am here, I am alive. No force on earth can take this life from me, I am eternal.
