A marble on a string seeks center. Cannot fly. You hang from me with discreet tension, your marble eyes seek the center of the question. Who will try? Around again, around again. One two three. Four and five. |

Keep it spinning, it will always come back around again. It's the nature of the force. May it be with you. We are talking about Love here, are we not? |

Very good metaphor here, Mike. In satellite physics, this phenomenon is known as "geostationary orbit". Not too far, not too close, with gravity as the tether. Love is probably a lot like that when it works. By appearances, as constant as the Northern Star, yet occupying a desperately fragile position. At least that's what I got out of it? coyote  "The greatest of all faults is to be conscious of none." |
