good question

i asked him openly, "do we need resistance?"

he said, "that's a really good question."

i continued, "isn't the inherent relationship between our physical bodies and the earth just another form of resistance?

...and don't we need that resistance?"

he asked, "what would happen if that resistance wasn't there?"

"we would fall," i replied.

"fall...relative to...what?"

"yes...i suppose 'fall' wouldn't be accurate without an earth, would it? float?"

he nodded, "float. yes...probably, float."

"but then what? what's the point of having this body then? don't we need this earth to stand on?
to give some purpose to our physical existence? to our humanity?"

his voice was like freedom: "the question is...do we really need something to stand on?"

so profound was this question, that i am still contemplating it today.

"do we really need something to stand on?"



hmm.
