"I knew this was wrong but I didn't listen. 'Cause a heart only knows what feels right. Oh, I need to reach a decision and get on with the rest of my life." - Vince Gill, "Which Bridge To Cross"
There
are a few amusement parks across the country that all have a variation of
this one particular ride that appears to defy gravity -- if for just a few
moments. In each ride, the rider is strapped into a car and shot straight
up in the air on a pole. As the car prepares to drop, the rider is weightless
for just a moment.
I happened to see a children's show demostrating the effects of the ride
one day. The show's host took a clear cylinder on the ride with him. There
was a small red ball inside the cylinder. When the ride car reached the top
and began to drop, the ball floated within the cylinder -- seemingly
weightless.
I am that red ball -- floating somewhere in the middle of
things.
That is all. It's not much but it's an entry. That's enough for now.
