In The Embrace of Experience
As time marches on as if by it's own accord, we create a path ahead appropriate according to our desire. As we see, we embrace that which we have already set forth. How could be it otherwise.
There is no 'losing' of one's self in the cacophony of experience which somehow knows and calls our name. As the string pulls we follow the course of action we have already dictated. Strange, but true. There is nothing new under this sun or any other.
Dancing in the moonlight1 we relish what may come fully knowing that any uneasiness is our own doing. Pointing fingers do tell tales but those tales are merely fiction thrown into the winds of time. Isn't it fun to experience what we have sowed.
Aligning ourselves in deep thought we think that we are above all which are below. And in so creating our future we perpetuate established beliefs. Breaking free is not up for choosing. We follow that which we have set forth. No deviation, no 'falling' off the path. Where we create, we follow. There is no choice in the matter. None at all.
As we charge off into the distant future, we become that which we must in order to fulfill our 'destiny'. Sometimes, the playwright forgets their role and becomes that which is created. It's a 'natural' thing to do I suppose.
As 'time' creates our way forward we become what is required.
Perhaps the tide has turned as established patterns are now moot2.
