Money doesn’t follow the natural order of things. Economic law doesn’t obey or honour the balance of the Universe—it only mimics it on the surface. It’s human-made, and most humans have long since fallen out of sync with the rhythm of the Universe. That’s why the tightrope most of us walk in life will eventually break. It has to. It was built on human law, not natural law. I had to get over the fear of that break, because the fall is inevitable. The rope can’t withstand the unnatural pull of economic law; it was never meant to. But gravity, at least, I can trust. The fall is honest.
Maybe the point was never to keep the rope from breaking. Maybe it was to remember that what’s real doesn’t end when it breaks. The fall isn’t failure; it’s return. When the structures we’ve built around money, worth, and survival collapse, what remains is the only balance that ever mattered—the one between truth and trust, gravity and grace. I don’t need to prevent the fall. I only need to trust myself to handle it when it happens.
Love to all.
