Is free fall exhilarating or liberating? My bungee-jumping, skydiving friends would go with the first, but Alice says it is the latter. And I agree with her! (She certainly is a pro in free fall!)
It must be liberating to scream your head-off, without a care in the world for those few moments when, apart from gravitation, there is no other force holding you back. No one can judge you for falling in any particular manner. I mean is there really a right way to fall out of an aircraft as you go hurtling towards the ground?
There is a sense of complete and utter freedom as one jumps of a cliff or down a rabbit hole. You don't have to be responsible or correct or accurate or look intelligent! You don't have to put up an act to impress anyone or give a reason for the action. For Gods' sake you are just falling!
In that moment of falling, you can be content, being...just being...!
Dear Alice, next time you plan a fall...count me in!!
