I sat gingerly at the end of the wooden plank. I'm afraid, with a little movement, there would be chaos and equilibrium would be disturbed. Any sudden weight shift would cause the seesaw to move and creak in this deafening silence. A minute creak sounded, echos and engraved in my mind incessantly.
I watched in dismay, as a single dandelion seed flittered and landed on the opposite end of the seesaw.
Will it affect the current balance that is peaceful and stagnant?
Will it cause me to lose my balance and fall off?
Will it affect the equilibrium in my life and cause uncertainty?
The seed of the dandelion gently rests on the other end of the wooden plank I was on, putting down its full weight amid its fluff of white.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
There wasn't any movement or creaks in the seesaw.
In this seesaw universe, the weight of a single dandelion seed makes no difference. The seesaw's balance isn't thrown off by it, it isn't affected. Unlike me, any shifts in my weight have caused the seesaw to creak unbearingly. I can make a difference in this universe, my actions will affect it. I'm somebody in this universe. The seesaw universe, is just me and the dandelion seed. It's the universe of me, myself and I. I have the ability to make the seesaw creak and lose its balance. It's within my control
But...
On a greater scale, the seesaw universe is just a speck in the bigger universe.
No one will heed any attention to it, if the seesaw creaks or moves up and down. The outside world is oblivious to this, it doesn't care. Why should it? The ups and downs of the seesaw aren't going to affect this larger universe.
Everything else, in life's universe, it isn't within my reach.
Once again, I've broken promises to myself, by not writing once a month.
I've tried, I really did, but...it just didn't happen...
