Description
I fell once. From a cliff-face overlooking the ocean.Afraid at first, I reached the apex, the beginning of my downwards journey.
A sudden weightlessness overcame me, heavy though I was, and I felt the fear vanish in the face of the calm wonder that suffused me.
Time slowed, as if I had begged of it the favor to linger in this subtle beauty, to savor the brush of the sea air on my skin, the wash of its waves upon the shore, a light that should have been blinding instead piercingly clear.
For that one perfect moment, I hung, lighter than air, almost nothing, a speck against the great tableau I inhabited for an instant.
Until it ended, as quickly as it had begun, a thread added to the tapestry, a thought forever condemned to a fleeting memory.
Can you remember your fall?
