In life, Going DownHill can be fun sometimes. For example, like a KamiKazi, going downhill on a snowboard, full-speed, crashing hard and fast, only to get up everytime, for another descent. So went this blogger, on the bunny-green slopes at BreckAndRidge Resort in the Mountains of Colorado (Yeah, along with five year olds who were certainly doing better than him. One umpteenth fall this blogger fell on face, at the feet of a five year old. The little girl asked "Are you OK ?". Blogger: DumbStruck Grin. Thanks heaven, God made compassionate children).
Aside, The resigned helplessness that descends upon you, when the body has been battered with falls on butt and on face, is another fun experience. After a certain fall, this blogger laid face upwards on the slope surrounded by the alpines; watching the wind whistle snow away from the mountains. And up in Sky, thin unshapely clouds sailed swiftly by her side.
(Reader Discretion Advised on this Post. If snowboarding for the first time, please take training lessons, and begin on bunny slopes as I did)

O yes,going downhill can be fun when the forces from behind keep pushing you and you start tumbling down, your spirit running faster than your feet.
Read through your journal. Interesting writing, both words and ideas.
Reached you from LJ friend, mrsgollum.
And O yes, I am fascinated with the idea of going bungee-jumping, another type of going down, falling. That's on my list when I visit the States!
Sthira,
Thank you for reading through and for the nice words. Keep Visiting.
I also meant to imply Downhill Descent of
a human due to circumstances or carefree
willingness, which is not fun, in my eyes.
Yet, somehow I missed it in the post.
Thanks also MrsGollum, for the reference.
You are a dear friend :)
Hey, you didn't miss that in your post at all. It's quite apparent in this line, "In life, Going DownHill can be fun sometimes."
Words in themselves have such limited meaning, but when put together, with a context in place, various shades can be seen in them; draw the curtain a little and you can take a peek into what's happening on the stage, without the knowledge of the passive audience.
sthira,
I like your words. Thank you.
