To fall:

A word akin to the utterance ‘um’. A definition of grey areas. The ability to fall, no choice but to fall, the misstep, the gravitational pull, the awareness of weight, the clumsinessof the body, the need to return to the upright position. The word ‘fall’ appears in various forms in the English language. In many of these lie the essence of an arrival: the weighted greeting of a baby growing in a belly, the tumbling into infatuation, the slip between awake and asleep. We fall into all of these things. Fall in love, fall asleep, fall pregnant, fall ill, fall away. But where are we meant to settle?
