i watched the movie "the big empty" years ago. it struck me: clever, witty and oh so cheerfully dark.
in it there was proposed a deeply metaphysical quest - and its answer led to the demise of the protagonist. ain't that the way it (always) goes?
no. but, that 'always' is neither here nor there.
in my own personal quest for peace i find myself faced with many of my deepest vulnerabilities - and the beauty of that is : know thyself. since i am not a narcissist (lucky world), i am not hung up on knowing myself. i am hung up on integrity and being there for others; taking my quest for peace to a deeper and more rooted level. see there paradoxes there? i do. and i would say that i don't care what you think, but i do. i just don't let it sit in me the ways it used to.
so it makes me wonder - now - what if you could really reach your quest.....what then?
what if you woke up with a bandaid? would that make it better?
