Gravity

I have a love-hate relationship with gravity. I love my feet being on terra firma, the feeling of being centered and grounded that comes from that. My body from the waist up has a different opinion of gravity all together. Especially since my mid-thirties. But I find it interesting that gravity is one of the few things we, as humans, tend to accept quietly. There are not protests (that I am aware of) against gravity. It simply is what it is.

Were it not for gravity, we would be floating aimlessly and missing one of pop's greatest songs. One simple natural law that impacts absolutely everything we do. I have come to believe there is spiritual gravity as well as physical gravity. We "fall" in love, "sink" into despair, become "grounded" in faith. And discovering this, I am seeing where I fight my spiritual gravity . . . the natural inclinations of my spirit. My goal is to bring into focus my abiding truths and be consciously aware of how they are manifesting (and that they are manifesting) in the way I live out my days. If I follow the truth of my spiritual gravity, I know I will find more evidence that love is the ultimate goal . . . my ultimate reality . . . and the most profound sense of gravity.
