Hello


Spring is when you step outside and realize it's the first time in months you hadn't thought of bringing a jacket. Winter was long. Everything's starting to wake up now.

This whole thing seems to be more of a journey than a destination. Every species and every culture and every person, whether it's politically, economically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, we're just trying to create a sense of harmonious equilibrium around us and within us.

It's been like that since the dawn of time but somehow we don't really seem to be getting any closer to the mark. We are nowhere near an eqoipoise regarding the world's political situation, animals are still evolving in a mad rush to eat and not be eaten. This outflow of information and ideas and opinions is creating a chaos within our global society that the world has never before seen. And yet there are inquiries that the ancient greeks put forth that we are still no closer to explaining. Annoying complications and contradictions that just keep boomeranging back to the dark part inside our skulls, whispering things like Free Will, Consciousness, Morality, Purpose, Truth, and God. We progress in science and in medecine but we have come no where near answering those questions that have plagued the curious mind for thousands of years. Why not?

Maybe the end of the journey won't be a destination. Maybe the nature of our questions are such that they can't be satisfied with answers. Maybe the action of searching for an equilibrium is an equilibrium of its own.

Maybe inside Pandora's Box, there's... just another box.

Where does that leave me.
