Gravity - Orbit Part II

Black holes suck up everything within their influence. Mass determines direction. Black holes have mass; lots of mass. They overpower lesser bodies with massive gravity. They, in a manner of speaking, direct.

Extrapolating that to our lives it is easily seen that we can be directed by influential presences of what we allow near our psyche. The mind, will and emotions can be controlled by one or more such determinatives. We let some people and things have so much power in our lives that they will eventually make decisions for us. It is a frightening thing when the gravity of something outside our frame directs the outcome.

Solutions . . . become an island where we are drawn into the echo of preoccupation with self. Or, find a positive weight. Something real, tangible, good, permanent. In fact, the more permanent the better. The Hebrews called such a weight "glorious." It is how to live: We permit the gravity of the glorious scribe the arc of our souls.
