Expressing Peace. Gravity. 87.
Gravity’s Apple
Gravity is something so very familiar to me that I never think about it. Almost never.
Gravity: the force of attraction by which terrestrial bodies tend to fall toward the center of the earth.
Cindy and I saw the new movie Interstellar this afternoon. (High recommendations!). It deals with gravity and time at quantum levels beyond my scientific understanding. It did, however, make me thankful for the peace gravity gives me.
My favorite dream, which I’ve experienced 5 or 6 times, finds me running on a not-so-high, grassy cliff edge beside a broad expanse of water. I vault into the air off one foot and literally soar for hundreds of feet before coming down, landing on the other foot without breaking stride. Again and again, I leap and soar, covering great distance, always returning gently to earth.
I never break the hold of gravity. I feel I play with it, and it plays with me in turn, by letting me soar beyond the 6 or 7 feet I might “soar” from my normal stride.
The idea of floating excites me; the security that earth will call me back assures me. I need to know I’m grounded spiritually, mentally, and physically. The falling apple excited Sir Isaac Newton. It satisfies Need #3. That is peace.
Supreme Engineer,
the creation of this planet and its attraction
of all things to its center
is sublime.
No doubt the innovative powers you also built
into the human mind would have us adapt
if our every next step did not hit the earth firmly.
Yet, that we are securely held to ground
is gratifying.
I thank you, GOD, that what’s meant to hold to earth
holds to earth.
I thank you that even the earth wraps snugly round its core
and that its core continually draws us to firm footing.
And so it is. Amen. Amen.
Enjoy Peace. Express Peace.
