# 169: Bouncing
Story behind the Passage
Feeling empty.
My Learnings
Bouncing like a rubber ball.
Thrown to the ground.
Smashing your head.
Shooting into the opposite direction.
Bounce, bounce, bounce.
Who catches me?
A short grasp.
Then falling again.
Smashing on the ground.
Bounce, bounce, bounce.
Insights come and go.
Another catcher in sight.
Smilingly opening the hand.
Holding on and taking my breath.
Bounce, bounce, bounce.
Upshot in the sky.
Looking down at earth.
Lost in space.
No roots anymore.
Bounce, bounce, bounce.
Longing to stand still.
Bouncing home.
Where is home?
Catch me if you can.
Bounce, bounce, bounce.
No energy anymore.
Facing the wall.
Looking at a lost soul.
Catching myself.
Hopefully.
