Being Among The Convictions

There are no 'lost' souls. I was there, I know what occurred. It is something I have had to come to terms with but not really¹.

We all have our fate, convictions and a future with which to do with what we please. Some call it free will but I know better.

In the game and games of life, living and the existence thereof, all 'happens'. Though I do not not walk among what I might sometimes call the 'living dead', it doesn't mean that I am oblivious to it. I understand it's nature and so I insert my nature amongst and within it. I am neither a 'player' nor a 'piece'².

The universe spins a tale. Actually many tales. All at once. It is absolutely amazing the depth and breath of it but that is coming from a narrowed and a singularity of definition of "what is". All that is, is. It's a catchy phrase but don't let that fool you. You are so much more than what you present³.

I do not subscribe to the way of convictions but what the heck, that is me, for this time and this place. There is no 'rising above' or any of that nonsense. It just is what it is.

Do you feel like that?

There is the lone wolf⁴ and then there is the safety of numbers. In the groupings and sub-groupings lies the assurance of a conformity within which 'progress' becomes assured⁵.

Ah yes, the assurance.
