Falling from a Tree

____________________________________

when i was a little kid,

i fell from a tree.

but i managed to hold on to a branch.

i was up there for a long time and waited.

the silence...
the pain in my arms...
the blood pumping in my ears.

then i fell...

i couldn't remember what happened when i hit the ground.

all i could remember was
the agony of holding on
and
the wonderful feeling of letting go.

this msg was forwarded to me by a friend. i kinda liked it.

it's really hard to hang on. i thought i let go, but there's another branch i held into. the tree where i fell from was pretty high i think. the agony is starting to form... my heartbeats seem faster... i dont know when the branch will break, or when will my hands give up... or are there still branches down there. spikes and thorns are all around, but it's part of the challenge.
