<a href='archives.php?PHPSESSID=d6a1ddbfe3bb3d7229341309d5138cbc'>archives</a><BR>it's a saying long taken for granted,
<BR>
steeped in the mystery of science,
<BR>
and the aura of the bigger brain:
<BR>
"objects at rest tend to stay at rest".
<BR>
<BR>
but "rest" is a notion of perfection
<BR>
that can never be achieved:
<BR>
we are always moving, we
<BR>
as people, as rocks, we as
<BR>
the ocean and the sky and the
<BR>
atoms and we planets and
<BR>
we stars-
<BR>
all of us move, for
<BR>
as a lesser known saying goes:
<BR>
"Every object with mass
<BR>
exerts a gravitational pull on every other massive object".
<BR>
<BR>
we pull each other closer, even as we push apart,
<BR>
these are nature's laws, not ours.
<BR>
it may prove a hindrance to us
<BR>
when we wish to escape our lives by jumping
<BR>
or, at the very least,
<BR>
by dancing on the ceiling.
<BR>
but it is a comfort to know that
<BR>
were we a universe away
<BR>
there would still be something that binds us together.</BODY>
