Bubbles

As I grow older I began to realize that things may not be fine. Not always, and not for quite a few of us. For some, if not all, the bubble will burst and we find ourselves plummeting down a spiral that can be quite difficult to get out of. It is a scary thought, one that justly plagues each of us who are sentient.

Yet the triumph of our experiences is that we can overcome that fear and make the best of it. A bubble, however ephemeral, can be a source of joy and wonder. Just watch every kid who is enchanted by one That a bubble defies gravity and soars to new height is magnificent to behold.

So I guess our options are, knowing that bubbles can be bursted, do we make more of them or do we find that the formula that sustains them longer in the air? I think it is a bit of both.

Don't fret over whether things will be fine or not. Do what you can to make it fine now. Help others to be fine as best as can be given the circumstances. Help one and other to sustain that moment of levity.
