Free Falling

I fell over and over this morning when the sun was just about to arise, when thick clouds cover the sky and rain was pouring down on me. I went surfing this morning. The waves were well nourished this morning. It was early. It was cold. And it was Rad! I struggled getting back into surfing again. There was a point where I had it on probably a 5-8 feet and then I just blew it at the peak. Which is the highest point of a surf when it breaks. I was up high and just hoping my board won't break. I hit the water belly first. It sure did hurt. I was in a tumble dry for a good minute. My face was numb, and so as my hands and feet. I had it after about an hour being in the water. The wind was picking up and there was no sign of the sun. It was freezing. Thank goodness for some hot coco and a warm hot meal from Spires.

That was my morning... The rest of the day was a blur.

Here's a thought. It's free to fall, but it always cost something to rise. The force of gravity is pretty darn powerful. 9.81 meters over seconds squared is the force of gravity. Thus, the velocity keeps increasing as an object falls to the earth. Ignoring air resistance. I've taken enough Physics. I know this facts by heart. The physical matter is very distinctive. To be falling uses less energy than making something rise from the earth. Obviously, but to correlate that with life. It's a lot easier to fall down rather than lifting ourselves up.

It takes an effort to actually get our butts off the chair and make something happen. It doesn't take much effort to not do anything. It's easier to sit on the floor rather than going to go and grab a chair. It's faster to run out of money rather than to make it. It's easy to fall out of faith rather than grow into it. It's free to fall in love, but to convince that person to love you back needs some work.

It's just a thought... I'm pretty tired.
