Falling is inevitable. It's only a matter of time, before things decay and disappear.
Empires fall apart, wars will start, human lives end, you lose a friend, spirits are crushed, good fruit is smushed, relationships are torn, animosity is born, possessions are broken, hearts are stolen.
Perfection does not exist, when time holds the power to resist. It's a key we can never hold, an element out of our reach.
Even leaves on a tree know one day they will twist off the branches, disconnect from their mothers and float, flit, and twirl slowly to the ground, but they are prepared for the time to come. That's why leaves change colors in the Autumn - they know they're going to fall, so might as well do it with some grace and beauty.
Someday the fall will happen. Humans, objects, history will all be taken into its destructive grasp. But if we can predict the future and know that one day it will happen, we must embrace it. Accept the challenge and fall with style, elegance, and perhaps with a smile.

i really like the first line, the 4th line is really deep, really hav to think abou it
grammar wise, i think might as well do it with some grace and beauty sounds better without so, and history will abe taken into its (minus apostrophe) grasp,
and jw, how would you advise falling with grace?
Thank you Joy.
ReplyDeleteI see where you're going with the grammar issues, in some cases it just flows better to my stylistically. Like by saying "so" it makes the mood a little different compared with if I didn't.
Falling with grace: Staying hopeful and knowing that every time you fall, there's a momentous opportunity for you to get back up. Being fearless and unafraid to face the fall, because you know it's not the end. The end is heaven and that's pure bliss. But to get there you're going to have to embrace some downtime.
