I Listen to My Inner Voice

Theres a whole lot going on inside our heads that many people dont seem to be aware of; Every human being has a universe inside their own mind that is as vast and mysterious as the universe that this planet exists in...and who knows? Maybe they're one and the same. Perhaps beyond the margins of the known universe are the borders of our own consciousness?

There are so many which ways to go in this material world. Chase greatness? Chase fortune? Love? Thrills? Adventure? Innovation?

I feel drawn to something inside of myself and I always have. I dont know what it is or how to even explain it because its beyond words but I know that when I push myself, in any capacity, I get closer to it...like I get a "glimpse" of it for just a moment. Not long enough to capture it's true shape, but long enough to resolve that I must reach it someday somehow.

When I sprint and I feel my heart climbing out of my throat, when I push off the dirt to throw myself as far and fast through space as I can as my lungs heave like bellows to fuel the fire in my chest.

When I'm struggling under hundreds of pounds of steel and my strength wavers. In that instant when I am suspended in the void between rallying more strength, and the leaping fear of being crushed and broken.

When I make revelations in my studies and a new understanding clicks together in my mind with all the rapid clarity of lightning striking ground.

When what I've learned carries me through situations where once I was fumbling and frustrated, and my newfound knowledge flows through my fingers like a torrent. My movements are fluid and precise and there is no thought just action.

In all these things I glimpse my quarry but these paths are almost like drugs in the way that the more I use them the greater my tolerance to them rises. I have to keep running faster, lifting heavier, learning more and more.

Sometimes when I consider what the mode of the next venture towards my gate of truth will be I feel fear.

Can I punch through yet another wall? Or will this be the one that [i]I[/i] break against? What if I find my limit, and this formless thing inside me, this transparent flame, this silent sound, this wonder beyond sight, is forevermore beyond my perception?

"What is it that I'm chasing and will I ever achieve it?"

I ask this of myself, and the query echoes in my mindscape; in the vast expanse of the innerverse it tolls its ponderance of eternity, to eternity, and for eternity.
