Each life is unique. Each human being is decidedly and absolutely unlike any other human. Even identical twins are different, as their minds and memories are unique. Every moment, once passed is gone forever. Time is one of those commodities that feels infinite and pertetual when we are young. With wisdom, an a few bouts of melancholia, we often realize life is fleeting and under appreciated.Some much is taken for granted. Many relevant things go unnoticed or unrecognized. Often, the realization of things comes long after the opportunity to truly revel in it has passed. Life should not be lived looking out the review mirror. Likewise, life is not something far off in the distance, over that horizon.
Life is right now. To savor its richness, texture and substance, we must pause and be reflective. We must open ourselves to a full emotional experience. WE must open ourselve to a genuine introspection of our inner landscape. To understand one’s place in this fantastic world, one should know themselves….or at least be on the course of self discovery and exploration. To experience life in all its fullness, one must unfold. Tight within ourselves are components or surfaces that are required to grasp a fundamental concept or connect deeply with a significant person in our life. If we keep ourselves confined and compact we miss opportunities to feel, taste, touch know, understand and love.
To unfold, one must have room. This space is my room to unfold. In my real life, I struggled with having to space or the permission to expand. I limited myself. To lay claim to this virtual geography, I was able to explore and unfold.
My hope and deepest desire for this sliver of space is to express my feelings, convey my wonder, show my gratitude and satisfcation and revel in the joy of the life that bubbles around me. I want to slow down and allow all of my senses the chance to register this life. The exercise means a life more sensual, more vivid, more intimate…more real. There are certainly days I want to rage at the absurd, the wicked or the petty, but I endeavor to find the beauty and the value in all things.And there is value in all things and all people. IN every moment there is something to learn. In the worst calamity, there is hope. WE all get stuck in the adversity of life, but I prefer to create a space that encourages optimism, finds the beauty, ponders the supernatural and thrills in the whimsical. And I want to share it with others.
