To the weightlessness of a free fall

In that moment, numbness broke like the wall of an aging dam in monsoon, plenty of frozen aches vaporized and the heart melted with the warmth and started flowing through the eyes.
In that moment, the things that really mattered stood out and everything else faded, like they always do eventually.
In that moment, memory chose to selectively forget and attentively remember and cherish.
In that moment, words failed themselves and eyes emanated hatred for petty emotions of pain and jealousy, guilt for greed, gratitude for the good, love for the worthy.
In that moment, life felt well-lived. If only for a fraction of a second.

Some moments once in a while, make one feel so much at the same time, lift so much weight up and drown with so much more, and so much of the ground shifts beneath the feet that even as you scramble for something to hold on to, you also look forward to the free fall, to the weightlessness.

Love you, yes I do.
