The world has changed so much.....or has it.....maybe our perceptions just shifted to seeing how it always was, and those that flow with that, those that don't, the gap is getting wider; the veil is lifting but not all are ready to look, they are too immersed and attached to the 'matrix' and they can't be made to, we're each on our own individual journey; some of us always felt the nudge, the discomfort, the something wrong, the 'splinter in the mind', but realizing, as you say so beautifully, that we really don't need to change anything, we never did, because none of it is 'real', we're just passing through, wanderers, in a perceived reality and there is nothing to fear.
You leave me speechless and yet, we talk. A meeting of the eyes, a handclasp, a hug to say we're not alone after all. And after all, what is left? Or right?
Thanks Doug, yes the mask often got in the way....age rips it off ... live well also my friend... and this is good but a little sad tooo... 'My sight is getting worse, but my vision is getting better!'.....i get it
From this post, I hope you don't go off with death before we get a visit. I don't get to Duncan Garage very often, but did take a look around for you when I did a couple weeks ago. I am spending a lot of time at home in garden, in case you ever want another peaceful place to write your thoughts, come for a visit here.
This part is a biggie for me:
Is it possible to live with out trying to change a thing? Everything is just the way it is, supposed to be, meant to be, presumably.
I am glad that you keep writing. How deep you get. You already know there are things we can change and things we could not change if we lived the length of two generous life-times back to back.
You water photos (puddle pics) continue to be inspiring. They point to your way of paying attention to the world through an alternative lens.
Sending you a zesty ounce of optimism to add to your coffee today.

yup, it's all heading towards eternity, almost no doubt about that...(--:
ST 97… One of your best. I’ve always enjoyed and appreciated your writing, it’s one of your strong points, but this one nails it.
I think the thought that is the fulcrum of the essay is: Can we live life without trying to change it?
Of course the throwback to that is: Should we?
I’m less able to answer that now more than ever!
You and I have often been at odds, but I’ve always felt we were arguing more about the clothing, not the body!
Oh, another ‘pearl’ :
My sight is getting worse, but my vision is getting better!
Ha ha ha ha (I don’t think I wrote that!)
Live well my friend!

As existential as "to be, or not to be?"

Good morning, Patrick.
I am glad that you keep writing. How deep you get. You already know there are things we can change and things we could not change if we lived the length of two generous life-times back to back.
