attraction.

Being attracted so strongly to each other, but pulled back by the strings, they were held in place. As I was waiting to see whether their attraction would become weaker overnight, I realized that if the magnet would do anything, it would just magnetize the razorblade – even from a distance – being the rare earth magnet that it was, and being the metal that the razorblade was. Just being themselves, really.

It is the time you have devoted to your rose that makes your rose so important. Except that in this case, it’s not only time that has been devoted. What else, I don’t know yet. Magnetic field, perhaps? Some kind of an energy?

What’s interesting is that in this setup, the magnet just hangs from above. It’s the razorblade that was pulled to the ground to create the distance. It wouldn’t have worked otherwise, because the magnet’s just too heavy. In this setup, it was the razorblade that reacted. Attracted by the magnet, it rose up, defying gravity.

I’ve witnessed, however, that when the pull somehow ceases – usually mechanically induced – and the razorblade falls, the magnet wobbles around as well. Both the magnet and the razorblade are equal parts of the balance.

It seems that there are many types of attractions, and this is just one of them. The earth and the sun also attracts each other, but lucky for us mere mortals of the earth, their attraction is a bit different.
