Being a Human Being.
Just taking the curve. Going straight around it where the road leads next. Maybe the most difficult thing to do. Just holding the curve, and not doing anything. In physical exercise it would be a static hold or static exercise. But I mean mentally, emotionally. As in physical exercise it is strength training, extreme strength training at times. Against the forces of gravity and acceleration and masses. Not turning to the right. Neither turning to the left. Simply and only following the road around a bend. Life is funny like that. How much we want to do. Feel the need to do. And yet, just not doing anything but actively biding time and seeing something though around a corner, during a time of change….it is so difficult. It is hard to have faith. It is hard to accept change. It is hard to be patient. It is hard to maintain a static standard. But what is faith?...... except blind faith. And what is without change of this planet?......except change itself. Perhaps our most challenging and most easy task is to merely be human. Someday, after much practice I hope to succeed at being a human being. Just a Human BEING. As is. Immediately in this moment….as simple and as complicated as that. It is a difficult thing to be a human just being. Just being. © Pj Swink and I Can! You Can! We Can!!!!!, 2015. |
