falling up
Falling up by shel silverstein
i tripped on my shoelace
and i fell up
up to the rooftops
up over the town
up past the treetops
up where the colors
blend into the sounds
but it got me so dizzy
when i looked around
that i got sick to my stomach
and i threw down
i found this silly poem by one of jaeda and my favorite authors and i laughed! it kinda reminded me of the sensation that i am feeling in life right now. falling up is an amazing thing to think about--all poetical in a world of prose. but scary and shocking if it really happened. i think i would probably get sick and "throw down" too:) but it reminds me of the things that i ask God for. a more God centered life, a Godly husband, strength, love...it all sounds so pretty and poetical...but when God actually starts to answer these prayers in His way (trials) instead of my way (poofs) it impedes upon my comfort zone and i just want it all to go away. and all that i long for is the "norm". . . the non-poetical, "prosy, norm.

in the midst of all my falling up--a sober kind of happiness is settling over my soul. it is always in the midst of great loss and change that i find great gain. funny, that's what He's always promised ...
