What is gravity? When you think on it for a second, that’s not such a simple question, because we don’t really know what gravity is, only how it affects us and the things around us.
So what is The Feel of Gravity?
What we experience throughout our lives are consequences and effects: the pressure of the earth on the soles of our feet; the resistance of our bodies to getting up when we’re tired or injured; the refusal of heavy objects to being lifted or budged.
But these things aren’t gravity itself, the force that holds the earth in orbit around our sun and impels parachutists in free-fall to terminal velocity… Our emotional and intellectual responses are consequential, too.
Gravity exerts its ubiquitous pull on every cell of our bodies, every moment of every day from birth to death; then it flattens the very dust of our having been into the sedimentary layers of geology and archeology.
What are the spiritual forces that draw us together, tear us apart? What is love? What is hatred?
Gravity is always and forever, yet we only become aware of its influence in moments of change, crisis or conscious reflection. That’s what The Feel of Gravity is all about.
