We all fall. Sometimes.
It’s inevitable. Natural.
Stumbles and knockouts
along the way.
Bumps and potholes,
from obstacles and pitfalls,
All paved roads, manmade.
No wonder we get lost.
We make through-streets
when we are meant to meander
on foot, following brooks
and the day-star beacon
through the trees.
I believe it lights
a different direction
for each.
Newton’s laws are really
a Universe thing,
term ego-coined by humanity,
but even that which
has no momentum to soar,
has never been granted
the boost or breeze,
seems to fall
with a harder thud
from crawling.
Perhaps the greatest
and most needed fall
is the one to our knees,
when we give it all
up and let Him
take the lead.
Perhaps in that moment
we are granted our wings.
But in that excitement,
will we remember
to fall silent and still
enough to feel our soul’s
gravitational pull?
We can now go anywhere
the heart leads.
This time I will stay away
from the paved
and listen to the whispers
of the wildflowers
and leaves.
I feel your heart
out there
gravitating toward
me.
This (and you) is so inspirational!
