Gravity

“and I turn the tide and get back my pride”
                                                               -Burning Ground, The Healing Game, Van Morrison

Gravity follows no constraints. Its name is a misnomer when used in any sentence. Gravity. That is all one can really say, for to say more blasphemes what it is, or does, or was, or will be. It is sacred. Its name should be sacred, for it cannot be seen, or heard. To feel gravity is not really gravity but a collection of magnified tiny electromagnetic impulses, magnified by time to a place in space where we think it is. It was there where a dinosaur left his footprint 150 million years ago. It has been where a rock on Triton, Neptune’s captured moon, for who knows how many billions of years or how many billions more, has lain by a chance of gravity, and where it has stayed since then. Mans triumph of his conscious will over his unconscious instincts were a momentous event, but it is trumped by Gravity, for we will die, even when the center holds. So we made Pyramids and Burial Mounds to memorialize the life of our forefathers, which is based upon the sacred Gravity. These pyramids have four 120° sides, which in the Lorentz Contraction equations in quantum physics 120° represent the infinite of ±1. The gravity of Jupiter, in congruence with the Sun’s 60° angle to the Jovian orbit, shoots off fields, at 60° in front and 60°behind, where a gravity-well has formed where captured asteroids have congressed and follow in the orbital path in front of, and behind, Jupiter. In one earth year, Jupiter’s orbit will have traveled thirty degrees around the sun, but it is inanimate, and knows not of time, so it traveled both directions, 30 degrees forward in time and 30 degrees backward in time, for sixty degrees, and, when combined with earth’s one year orbit of forward and backward in inanimate matter time, now equals a relative 120 degrees. This is where we can see Gravity, out of time, but it is not just physical, but also part of our lore. When Einstein peered out across the Square to imagine an elevator free-falling in gravity, he could see the inertial mass changing, the time of the observer and observed changing, even the volume of space was changing, but gravity held the center without the slightest notion of why it is or what it is. Thus Gravity opens the Door’s of Perception, but leaves out itself apart. It is a symbol for good, and evil. The freedom and power of Angels is exemplified by their powerful command of defying gravity, and Satan’s evil will commands one third of the stars in the sky (according to revelation) in his abeyance. For Gravity, as for Shakespeare, all the world’s a stage. And to try to nail it down at a time or place or even in a story is vainglorious, and this short story is now in the Library of Babylon, filed under Burial Mounds.
