No matter how hard I try not to, I keep doing it anyway.

Looking for the rules of life.

Extracting patterns.

Exploring causality.

Trying to find the things that lead to other things, always.

And sometimes I just stop.

And I laugh about my attempts, with gratitude and respect and appreciation.

Life is SO damn amazing that there is not even a good word to describe it.

We can think and believe one thing for decades, then just drop it.

We can think that we are in control, at least somehow, and then realize how ridiculous that idea really is.

Everything is here for us.

Every opinion, every philosophy, every method, every grain of sand.

Science is here, angels are here, holding on to something and surrendering are here.

Life is here for us.

It is an endless playground, a borderless field of opportunities.

And we are SO free, that we can believe the exact opposite, and feel small and caged in and unworthy.

Everything is here for us.

All of it.

Moments of triumph and instances where we ‘get it’, or situations where being lost doesn’t even come close to what we experience.

I am writing this because it occurred to me to start a post.

I am writing this as life.

You are reading this as life.

Life is here, for me, for you.

And it doesn’t matter if you try really hard or drop everything.

How are you gonna play today?
