Flow
Blogs are about random musings, life is about random musings ordered in such a way as to give it all a meaning, pointless excercise in the futility of it all, or a focused endevour to a final point of meaning? Not what I am interested in.
Could be what many people are interested in, again, not my issue. But it is an issue in the world of Flow, of the flow-project. People, unconnected, that in a way are closer than they could ever hope to be if they ever knew each other. Their life, a random endevour, a focused objective, a point of interrogation or maybe an exclamation mark. Putting it all together, then, it become what I call a Flow.
Flow, flow with the wind, go with the flow, waves flow, light flows, everything is flowing. Random musings point to all kind of directions, but in the end, the flow only goes one way, it might move around, it might sinously shift here and there, this way and that, but like a river, at the end, it is going downhill, to the sea.
We strive to see the sea before we get there, to see what is awaiting us, but we cannot see past the forests, the fields, the hills, the mountains that are ahead of us, so how can we ever hope to see the sea?
But still we hope, we struggle, we endlessly look beyond, and all the while we are carried away by the flow, we cant swimm against it, we dont want to swim against it, but we do want to change it's direction. Only that we cant. Destiny is in our hands, our choices reflect where the flow, to what sea, to what we will see, to the kind of waters we will swim in.
But we dont know this, we cant know this, knowledge is power, but it also weakens us, makes us aware of our failings and renders us immobile in the face of a struggle we know we cannot win.
But we can.
If one does not know the full extent, then one is naive, but the naivety can carry you forward, just like a river, we chip away the land we are flowing in, and slowy, we make a valley, we turn into a lake, we shift and shape the land around us, and eventually we are the ultimate movers. We turn into a glacier, we rampage, we gouge, we become destroyers and creators. But we do not do this consciously.
If we knew what the choices we made entail, would we not stop and think eternally on every consequence, would we then not become slaves of our own knowledge. By limiting it, we do not limit ourselves, by knowing that something is impossible, we do not undertake the task, but if we believe it is possible, then, one way or another, we go on and achieve what we want.
Some say this or that is impossible, but those that do not know, then prove it is possible. We cannot shut ourselves from avenues, roads and places we know are impassable, because bridges, dams, doors can be built, and once more, we can move freely.
Be free in what you choose to beleive, but remember, never exclude what you choose not to beleive in. Ultimately it is through faith that we reach certainty.
