the roller coaster




Lifes a roller coaster. Takes you on a ride. And if you've ever been on one, then you know!

You start off slow. Then there's this slow ascent taking you to a high point. While reaching the high-point, being there on the high-point, there's always this fear. The thoughts... "Whoa! i should never have been here!" "ah! i am taking this ride cause of this idiot, who forced me to accompany"... "never again! never again!"

And before you know it, you are going down, real fast. real real fast. The G's pulling up on you! The fear- all getting real.... And finally the low. Theres nothing that the ride can do to you now, when you get there. Its gone! the fear! The worse! Youve seen it! It was the fall that was scary. The transition. Now the low.

Then on, its a ride up! any movement only takes you high. The exhilaration,of rising up. Sometimes we forget it was that very fear of going down that caused this exhilaration of climbing up again. & sometimes when we do, its what we call "nostalgia".

Lifes on that high point now. I am going to go down. I was rising up all along. This is the high point for this cascade. Will go down, and will again rise up! Up! Up! so high....
