Title: It's Like Falling
Post by: Dimocritus on May 25, 2010, 09:13:28 PM
"OK. Now open your eyes. That's it. Now look down. No, no, no. Keep you eyes open. You'll miss it all if they're closed. It's OK. Alright... Now let go."

"Let... go?"

"Let go."


It's like falling.

I can clearly see my feet planted firmly against the ground, but the sensation of falling...

It's exhilarating. The feeling of weightlessness.

It was scary, at first. You bet. You don't want to let go. You're afraid you'll hit the bottom. Hard.

But then you realize, if you keep your eyes open that is, that there isn't a bottom. It just keeps going.

Hell, I'm not even sure there's a top. Just the point at which you start falling. If you let go, that is.

Fuck, the concept of "top" and "bottom." It all gets to be sort of meaningless when you're falling.

Hell, we all could be falling up, as far as we know.

But what does it all mean? What's the point? All this perpetual falling nonsense.

Does there need to be one?

Just keep falling.

Exhilarating, isn't it?

Not real sure but this sounds like surrender a little.

Sweet! It's got that abstract, open to interpretation - deal going on.

I'm not really sure where you're seeing surrend... oo never mind, found it.

Either way, that's not what was on my mind when I wrote it. It was more like, having a truly exiting fun life is counter-intuitive yadda yadda. Was gonna do more, TBH.

Think it's perfect as is - leaves enough to the imagination.
