Gravity.

“I jump up and down, to get a good refresher of this gravity thing. When I espy a young couple walking up the hill, arm in arm, I fling myself flat on my blanket, to assure them that this gray-haired lady is just here to nap. I can’t risk another report to the sanity police.

Surrendering to gravity, a force just strong enough to reassure this heights-fraidy cat, perched here atop this high ridge, is comforting. One strong wind, though, and I’ll be rolling down the slope like a kid inside a pickle barrel. I dig my fingers into Earth for insurance.”
