one step beyond
there's that feeling you get, sitting at the top of a roller coaster, when everything is still, and you're right at that point where it's all potential energy just waiting to transform into a chaotic downward rush as the car plunges down hill.
every once in a while, you get that feeling with people. that there's something there, something ready to happen, and that feeling, that anticipation of the future, that sitting on the precipice, closing your eyes, and gearing up to just. let. go. weightless, you give yourself over to the momentum, and it carries you through to the end of the ride.
sometimes the car derails and sometimes it doesn't, but it doesn't matter then. Talking to my grandmother, i get the feeling that she and grandpa had that, and that the worst part of his having died, for her, is that after sixty years she has to accept that the ride is over.
Seems like an alright trade off to me.
I don't know where this is coming from. I'm in a sort of Bjork mood, all is full of love, and right now, in this moment, everything has fallen away and i'm perched on top of the roller coaster, and whether it stays on the rails or not, i'm not worried about how the ride ends. I'm just looking forward to the freefall.
