There’s a knock at the door.
The universe in all its splendor, glory and darkness.
From nowhere a question is asked.
ARE YOU WORTH IT?
I answer. Yes
Then, blip, nothing.
Just sunlight falling on the front lawn.
Weeks, months pass and there it is again. That funny sounding knock. I open the door. The question is asked again.
ARE YOU WORTH IT?
YES I say, with more confection. The universe hangs for a second. IF there were eyes I would almost swear someone or something was checking me out. Then as fast as it showed up, it was gone. Days pass by. I feel anxious, nervous, Afraid. This time I can sense it, a couple more days.
OH GOD, BLACKNESS! UNKNOWN!
There it is. Body shaking. I know what is asked. I gather my strength, open the door and before any question is asked.
I dive headfirst into the blackness of uncertainty.
If ever there was a jester on my part of any faith its now.
Falling into the universe, I expand instead of contracting.
Falling or floating?
I await.
For the universe to answer my question.
Will you catch me?
