Surface Tension


Tiny mayflies of the river float on the surface sustained by the surface tension of water. Their survival, and the survival of the trout, depends on that surface tension.

Symbolically speaking, I feel I am sustained by living in the existential tension of life. I live in the tension of unanswered questions and not quite knowing where I belong.

At times I float, at other times I feel as though I am sinking.

Unanswered questions: Who am I? What is the meaning of my life?  “God, is that you who sustains me”?

The tension is sustained by not being certain.
