Up or Down

Staring up into a perfect circle a tube into the sky. Beginning, at step one I climb into the spiral. Halfway through, looking down, then looking up confused. Will I know my way through life; to be lived just this once. Or am I falling down the drain not knowing if I�m up or down. Am I living freely at all times controlled by absolutely no one? � 2005 sara coslett Photograph: Spiral staircase in the Arc de Triomphe - Julie Harris http://julieharrisphotography.com/places/pages/spiral_staircase.html

Yet more very profound questions from your poetic pen, Sara.

It's not that we don't have free will, it's the struggle we endure within ourselves, to allow it to reign over us. Sometimes, we just have to remember to let go and let life be the guide. It would be so much simpler, than forcing every step.
Be well Sara.

interesting perespective from either side of it up or down, like the half empty/half full glass this too looks at life and one must draw one's own conclusions as to which it should be.

You sure know how to think with the left side of your brain. And translate with the right side.

Yup you got free will. But there are those who have too much influence on our lives..
