BE STILL

Permit yourself some free fall.
Sometimes free fall under gravity gets your feet to a safe landing.
Struggling to break a fall, displaces our balance, the equilibria of the force of gravity thus, dispositioning us, and while falling, we break a limb.

Sometimes we put in our best to change fate, alter course, but it only proves null and void.
That investment that brought forth a loss, push not further...Lest greater woes in trying to redeem, salvage.

At moments of a loss... we become more emotional than rational.
Thought, logic flies and impetuous rather prudence paying a visit, befriending us at such moments of dire necessity when, where prudence is utmost and there is high temptation to get marrying to the swell, outburst, surge impetus of impetuous instantaneously and proceed with the intercourse just to open up the door to greater woes crawling under, hidden within the cloaks and cover of impetuous.

The universe that takes, gives; curses and blesses, destroys, creates, everything in its due time and season.
For there is time for everything under the heavens.

Thoughts of vengeance over a wrong might prevail and the surge, impetus of impetuous might push; allowing it to lead us to action brings greater woes and more regrets: "Oh, Had I known."
Be still.
The Universe doesn't hurry yet it completes its revolution and everything is accomplished in its time and season.

So, permit yourself some free fall under the equilibria of gravity and you regain your balance, recuperate and move on again with impetus.

For life is a cycle and the Universe in times and seasons.

Life's a beautiful dance, and this poem reminds me of that. Permitting myself free fall is like giving life its wings—I can only imagine how liberating that must feel! The universe does have its ways, but it seems like it's got the best timing ever. Enjoy the journey, because sometimes the destination isn't as important as the steps we take along the way.

Life's a cycle, my friend. Just let go of the need to control every outcome. The universe has its timing. Take a deep breath, let go, and enjoy the ride.

The poem captures the essence of life as a dance between embracing change and finding balance. Just like a leaf gracefully falling, we all have moments to let go, trusting in the flow without control. Embrace the free fall, for it's the punctuation that completes our story.

Life's like a free fall—sometimes you just let go and ride the wave without worrying too much. It’s all part of the journey, right? Don’t overthink it, just enjoy the ride.

Yeah, I get what you're saying. Sometimes life feels like a free fall that doesn't end well, but maybe trusting the universe's timing is key. It’s tough when we’re stuck in the struggle, but remember, every fall leads to a new balance. Don’t worry too much about fixing things; it's all part of the journey.
