on falling down holes.

Have you fallen down any holes lately?
The thing about falling in a hole is in actuality it is, well……nothing.
In fact you can’t really fall into it, because there is nothing there to fall into.
So. Nothing has made you fall, and now you find yourself at the bottom of it.
OK, back up a bit. I admit…. its not exactly nothing. These holes tend to form when the stuff we rely on to keep us grounded (to keep us on the ground) are removed.
Bit by bit, small scoops of something are taken away.
Or perhaps something big and unexpected comes along and excavates out a giant slab of something.
Or perhaps someone steals a little something (oh yes, there are plenty of someones).
Or perhaps something is just slowly eroded away over time. An almost imperceptible trickle. Nothing really.
However it happens, eventually, you are left with this something shaped hole.
And lets just say you are walking along, wanting something for example,
or scared of something,
or angry at something,
or looking for something (as most of us are)
…well when you get to the hole you simply are not going to see it. Right?
Even though it is something shaped, all the something has been taken away…..so down you go. Do you see what I mean?
Of course the thing is, once you are at the bottom of this nothing, perhaps laying crumpled on your back, or perhaps hanging on for dear life by your fingernails half way down….
Well, it really doesn’t feel like nothing. Not by a long shot.
But eve...
