"Then there are moments when you feel that gravity is totally messing with you. 'Expansion and contraction', said the Universe to the wandering mind."
My mind wanders to far off places, dreaming of some inspiration, some solace, some quiet, sometimes.-Vanessa Jubis
What's the matter? Me. I'm the matter. It's just that sometimes, I float away.
Gravity is what keeps me grounded, tethered, steady, right here.
Gravity is what pulls two objects together. As in, my husband and I. My children and I. Me and myself.
Gravity is the constant that reminds me to stand, to jump, to fall and well, pick myself back up again.
Along with expansion and contraction. It's how things work. Isn't it?
The Universe expands and contracts.
When you make love you expand and contract.
Pregnancy and birth expands and contracts.
The flowers, the ocean, the trees, our lungs, our heart, the rapid movement of a hummingbird.
In essence, it is the pulse of life.
Gravity pulls me down at times. But I know that I can stand up whenever I choose.
