Gravity
Sometimes I wanted to hate gravity because it pulls everything down, like it prevents everything to fly. You jump… you fall… because of gravity. If you fall, you get hurt or even die. We can have all the reasons in the world to hate it.But then I asked myself… how is it to be able to fly for eternity and you can never rest your feet?… because there is no gravity. It would be very, very tiring – right? It is like the thought of flying but the truth is… you’re just floating without a ground to stand on – so tiring.
There is a lesson in gravity. A lesson why there is and why there should be gravity. It is the reason why we fall, we get hurt, and we die. But it is also the same reason why we could finally rest our tired feet ever wanting to touch the ground. The reason why we could finally settle down our whole body and be able to maintain our balance.
Flying is great… floating is fine, but falling and finally reaching the ground is the feeling that only the gravity at the center of the earth could make you feel. I believe it is strangely awesome.
Maybe that is the reason why the world is round and not flat… so that the gravity could be placed at the center of the earth, because if it is flat… then it would be just under. But since the earth is round, gravity is placed at the center … gravity is the reason why we fall… it is at the center. Love is the reason why we fall… maybe because it is at our center.
The truth is… gravity NEVER pulls us down… it pulls us TOWARDS THE CENTER… to finally gain our balance… to finally know that we are at rest even though the world continues to rotate and revolve tiringly around us.
Let the gravity work.
