Life is beautiful

I wish I could express in words what that means

I don’t mean that as “everything is ok”

Everything is awful, broken, vulgar, and gross

Our lives are full of pain and loss

But life itself? Therein lies something more

Maybe I’ll start writing poetry again to try and capture it

Or maybe music? Thoughtful lyrics over discordant tones

It is in contradictions that beauty is found

To perceive what is, is a miracle unto itself

But the even fly perceives what is

The flower

The mushroom…

But to perceive what could be? That is the beauty of life

And why it must flourish

I want to explore this idea more as it intrigues me so much

Death is not important, only life is important

You have a point, and you made it well
Life is so much more
It is more than the sum of its parts
It is more than just being, just existing
It is deeper than we can ever swim
Farther than we can travel
More complex than our tiny minds can comprehend
The dimensions, the angles, the complexity is far greater
Greater than the greatest mind ever
And yet
There is a simplicity to it
A blue sky
A tree
A river, an ocean
The wind blowing your hair
The smell of flowers, of dirt, or rotting leaves
A child digging his foot in the sand
The laughter, the smile
Pizza

You’re clearly an optimist!

@Wiseacre After a fashion

I don’t see the good in things. I just possibilities.

My optimism is a world that neither me nor my children or their children will ever live to see

@EBSVC why, do u think we’re nearing the end?

EBSVC · 36-40, T

@Wiseacre Not the end. It’s more…rising waters against a levy

Periodically it overflows and floods progress across the fields.

The levies will be rebuilt and they will overflow again, for as long as it takes

I do think we’re reaching another flood point though
