I have this relentless obstinate feeling that I am approaching another life defining crossroad in my life. After nearly a year of reflecting and processing experiences and memories of great magnitude, I feel that I have come to a certain closure and have reached a pivotal position. These moments occur regularly in our lives. Am I ready for what lies ahead?
How could I possibly know? What I do know is that in life, when things stagnate and become commonplace, I need change. I am in constant evolution, at what seems at times to be occurring at warp speed. I love to explore the depths of human nature and I am fearless when it comes to exploring foreign environments. I watch. I listen. I anticipate. I predict and generally see a rather accurate outcome.
It's all so very transparent. The great disappointment of humanity leaves me with a bleak feeling, and the regular distractions that the world is so easily provided with to blind ourselves from this reality are no longer a functioning opiate. Humans are less than animals. Even when they belong to someone else, they truly belong only to themselves.
Earth. A beautiful, sapphire blue, emerald green, and opal white jewel dangling in the center of a vacant, black vastness. Far into the void, the piercing silence. So beautiful, so alive, enticing...just as we humans can be. But on the inside--just as when you come closer to the surface of the earth--our flaws clearly show.
All the answers are available to us. Great philosophies and peoples have been a testament to this. Yet we line up for our opiates instead.
The only true mystery left in life is love.
