Ah, comtemplating life… I agree that we are given all that we need, that the path is laid before us and has a constant ability to compensate for what I like to call our “free-will” accidents. I think it’s hard to shake expectations that make life seem dificult or unfair. The idea that if we work hard and are “good” people, things should be easy or “bad” things won’t happen to us. The dream of “true love” or “success”, there’s so much to chase out there. But, I feel, the flow is just a flow, it’s not about gaining anything, even higher awareness. It is as it is, we are as we are. And rather it’s “good” or not, there’s no fighting it or changing it. Do I think life is good? I think there are moments when my lack of understanding or my desire for control or answers create a perception that life has some flaws I’d like to discuss with management. But I have known moments of such complete joy and awe, and experienced the strength of whatever guides this flow and I feel there is benevolence at the heart, at the core, at the cellular, atomic, sub atomic level of it all… I think life is life, that good and bad are judgements I create in my mind and that I am eternally grateful for the life I have. And I love talking esthetics with Adam!
