Gravity

[Reflections on home and relationship, in interpretation of Alfonso Cuarón’s movie Gravity.]

 

Gravity
That we are floating
That we are held down
That we are alone
That we are one
That we are lost
That we are in the right place. 




 

Gravity. 
That we have a home.
That we have love.
Soil.
Soul.
Mud.
That we are all
That we are none.
 

Gravity.
Can't stop crying
can't stop reaching
can't stop trying to grab hold
of everything that's floating away
from me.

Let go.
Tethered in the heart.

Hold on.
We must hold on to love.



 







Gravity.
That we all belong to the earth.
Gravity.
That this is home. 
That we are bound.








Gravity.
Binding.
Gravity. Weighting without crushing.
Gravity. Holding us to what is ours.
Holding us to what we belong to.

Gravity.
Love.
Same thing.

We can float in easy silence

or we can stand
feet pressed in
in the buzzing world
alive
together.



  

 
Gravity.
Howling into the abyss.


Gravity.
Howling our hearts into the silence. 


Gravity.
Howling Howling.
Wailing. Howling. Screaming. Loving. Howling. Moaning. Loving. Barking. Barking. Howling. 
Howling.

Healing.
Wholing.
Wholing. 
Homing. 
Coming home
to the heavy gravity
of particularity,
relationship.

Gravity.
Coming home. 







Gravity.
Surrendering to the weight
of what we belong to.
