Push from above

I'd been planning on posting more often, but the impending doom of law school exams has been beating me into submission. Have you ever walked through a waterfall? It looks fun from a distance, then as you get closer the water starts to get louder, and the spray starts to sting your eyes. Maybe you begin to wonder if this is such a good idea, but you squint against the sharp assault, and continue on. Now you've gone too far to turn back. As you make it under the falling water, it beats down with incredible force on your head and shoulders, forcing you down, enveloping all. You can't hear, can't see, can't think. There is only the waterfall and you.
Hopefully you emerge through the other side, into a secret cave, or mossy bank, and it's all been worth it. Hopefully.
