Mythos & Marginalia

life notes; flaws and all


open space

  • trying

    Day by day, week and month into year, we continue to try to sort out where we are and what is ahead of us.

       No matter our age, we are all trying to figure out what we are doing with our lives. I know I am.

       Individually, and collectively, life changes. There are a lot of moving parts: the economy, political landscape, our destiny and destination shaped my both hazards and humility. 

       Then, just as we think we’ve got it all figured out, a new change or choice presents itself, another obstruction or ordinance. It never seems to end. 

       Through it all, for the most part, we keep on believing there is another reason or result.

       We keep on trying; that may be the only consistency we are allowed.

  • access to information

       Our interpretation 
    of any subject is based on 
    random or specific research, 
    various opinions, 
    hearsay and happenstance. 
       Context is as important 
    as source and access 
    to information.
       We decide what is truthful.
       How much we know 
    really depends on 
    how much we want to know.

  • each moment

    Make it slow.

    Movement, activity, thought:
    set each moment in its time.

    Slowly.

    What do you miss if you rush?
    Could you observe as you go?

    Try it slow.
  • dreams

    Not all our dreams are for ourselves.

    The plans we create, the dreams we make,

    are often for the greater good.
