falling backwards
Several times in the last few days I have come across others writing about 'falling backwards'. The repetition is not by accident; of that I am sure.
Falling backwards requires complete trust. Or the possibility of broken wrists. Facing forward and trusting that whatever is behind us will offer a soft place to land. And knowing that the falling isn't what will harm us; resistance to the fall is what creates injury.
A spiritual Nestea plunge.
Am I trusting enough in those moments of free-fall to notice and observe my reaction, and to accept the fall? Can I enjoy the journey on the way down?
