Free fall for 9 seconds

I feel woozy right at the moment, the pain has almost passed its pinnacle.  Don't you hate it when the pain takes a long time to just pass, it comes in waves as if to test your ability to subdue pain?  To try to get as close to the threshold without crossing it?  It's called testing our limits, and we like to do a lot of testing.  One day, you're going to go too far and it will be too late.

Like a flower forgetting to bloom in the spring, forever losing its petals thus halting the intake of nutrients, and inevitably, death.

Well, more so like a roller coaster about to pass its climax then slugging its way backwards off to dance with gravity.

You almost had it, but now its lost forever...

And then for some reason you were given a second chance.  A second round to figure things out. You pace around in your head before you jump to hasty conclusions.  You now have extra confidence led by extra experience.  Things aren't as scary as you imagined them to be and instantaneously the mind becomes open; its petals rearranged in a pattern far more superior than before, absorbing double the nutrients and growing double the height.  This moment of clarity we hope would last for at least a few moments doesn't.  It floats on in as fast as it passes on out.  

Like a forest being burnt down by fire only to be reborn richer and fuller; like a volcano creating new fertile land.

Pain is just an emotion we have come to understand and cope with.  We realize how necessary it is for life to thrive.  The opposite dualities battling for eternity.  But at least we are living right?

Have we already forgotten how beautiful the sky looks when it's setting?  We musn't forget the simple pleasures and beauties of life.  Never take for granted the treasures presented before you.  Cherish all that you have because one day it might be taken away from you.

"Life is plurality, death is uniformity..."
