are the ones that die silently,
privately,
even dangerously;
are the secrets we hold the most.
Having had said that, I have one of those, a collection of facts, perceptions and expectations, swinging between my hands like a ball, an energetic ball rigged up by two forces barely settled in an tumultuous and very precarious equilibrium;
an inward force fighting to keep the secret together, and an outward force equally trying to pull it apart. In complete knowledge I stand, playfully, expectantly observing these two forces play with and against each other, waiting for a final moment when one will succumb the other. And I can't help but smile, savoring the heat and cold between my hands. I watch silently, patiently, for it is not my call to favor one or the other, but rather to witness (break up to build it back up) and hopefully, luckily, run to its rescue once the harm is done, to pick up all the shattered pieces and try to build it back up.
