Slowly, slowly going up the roller coaster hill. Seated, tilting backward with gravity holding you down. The earth is at an angle
never seen before. It’s pretty wonderful and dramatic and everyone is clenching
their teeth.
Rising above everything and it is
all tiny, realizing that the only
thing making secure contact is a rickety metal container and pole keeping you in place
on wooden tracks.
The sea is there. Out there, and it
looks stable. Grey and calm and a few whitecaps appear and vanish like
nothing new.
This is like the first 50 years, maybe. Expectation of moving onto a place above everything, experiencing
something new and exhilarating Clicking
along the tracks and looking from side to side knowing that things will absolutely change.
Doing what everyone else wants- and what you want, too. You thrive and survive and sit there and move up. Clicking forward. Looking up ahead you
can see the top. Wow, it’s high up here. I’ve never been this high off the
ground before. Pretty exciting.
Going through the motions,
etc. Clicking along like there is a future, for sure.
Then suddenly there is a drop.
Zoom! Gravity plunges the cars downward and swoops around and everyone screams and some lift their arms in the air and laugh.
Everyone is scared to death and it
is incredibly fun.
