2 of my favorite artists, John Mayer and Sara Bareilles, both has a song with the same title. The science maybe a bit complex but the idea that gave birth to this law was quite simple. Legend has it that an apple fell on Newton's head while he was sitting under a tree and the Universal Law of Gravitation was born. Of course, this could be an oversimplification minus the technical jargon and the nitty-gritty scientific details. Nonetheless, the concept is there and applies to our day to day living both in the scientific and philosophical realms.
Sometimes, we move too fast we don't realize we are on the brink of falling. Other times, we crave for adventure and live on the edge consciously. Unfortunately, a little distraction, disruption, among others can easily break the balance. Try as we may to keep things steady one way or another, things just don't fall into place. But as everyone may have said time and again, that's just the way it is.
Even as we fall, get sucked in, lose balance and stumble, we have to accept that it is through those that we truly experience life. These things make life beautiful and wonderful, happy and amazing, diverse and miraculous.
I have fallen many times, who knows how many more times I should fall... Standing up is quite a challenge but honestly, I couldn't really ask for more. I am too blessed, God has been so good and life is just too damn beautiful.
Sara Bareilles sings about gravity being the unwavering attraction from one person to another that cannot be denied. The attraction sometimes being too much bordering on obsession that freedom from it, is yearned. John Mayer sings about gravity being that which brings us down - any man down. As we acknowledge its power, we should try to balance swaying and fighting it while remembering to stay in the light. Maybe it's about getting a grasp of what's important and what matters most to us... so we can stand back up.
Keep falling. Not every fall is the same because each time you stand up, part of you is already different.
