Collision
The energy
that exists, between two objects, the moment before contact, is magical. I believe the universe is calling me to
explore that right now. It lasts a split
second, a millionth, the force that erupts prior to collision. Within that space, there is so much
happening.
Everything
surrounding that force is about to change forever. Nothing will be the same
again. All that exists around that
moment adjusts itself to the new existence, the new truth, the new way of
living. Tension. Desire. Proximity.
Touch, reverberation. Connection. Wave.
Satisfaction. Pulse.
When there is
a collision, because I don’t know what else to call it right now, the kinetic
force pushes a new way of being, a spell of adjustment on all its beings. The environment is never the same. There is a spark, an asterix left behind, to
tell a story, to haunt the territory with forever. A story is planted, a shift
has taken place.
I am part of
the spell. I have been entranced by this
energy.
Trying to
process and make sense of the accident; filter it thru my soul. The ball
transfers its kinetic energy into the sand and the sand goes flying. The ball
stopping is gravity. The earth is
stronger than the ball, so the earth stops the ball. Gravity attracts the object to which has more
mass.
What does it mean, I wonder, when one of the two bodies emerges from the other side of the collision far more damaged than it should be? Two bodies barely brushed paths, yet the the gash of impact is far deeper than makes sense. Dear, rational, logical physics can only shrug and stand idly by in impotence. And the damaged body can only wonder what just happened.
ReplyDeleteThere usually is one body more damaged than the other, and I think it has everything to do with mass - and whether or not you have your safety belt on. ;)
