i have never believed in being moved by fear, alone. i do, however, believe it is the natural tendency of humans to fear being wrong, to find themselves at a crossroad of misjudgment and naivete. and i am no exception.
i believe everything we know to exist does so in parity and equipoise; there is an inexplicable balance organized by a higher being. over time, a system moves toward disorder, but the existence of entropy, itself, requires a complementary force that counteracts and balances the gradual move to chaos. consequently, there is a transmission of syntropy, the tendency of a system, or parts of, to move toward organization.
energy is neither created nor destroyed, and while entropy calls for scattered energy, ectropy is the movement of energy toward usefulness. a house is built when each of its components are orderly placed, but in the wake of a natural disaster that destroys the consummation of your labor, each piece that was so thoughtfully placed lies in a pile of debris and chaos. but i believe as human beings with the gift, the ability to think and discern logic, we are the components of the system that, with time, move toward organization; we are the complementary force of entropy.
every living being serves a purpose, and every person has a destiny… a path that, if followed, will allow for the utilization of energy in the system - our world - and gain ectropy.
so maybe this is a reminder to myself to be never consumed by fear, alone. i look at what has brought me to this point, to be so deep in what i feel for you and what we are, and i know for a fact that it certainly wasn’t fear. we can’t live in our minds and construct fantasies or nightmares because then we isolate ourselves from reality and the bounties of this life. if this is meant to be, if it lies in my path that parallels my destiny, then so be it. i don’t believe in the destruction of ideas, the analysis and extrapolation of thoughts, because that is counterintuitive to human nature; it is an act of entropy and a movement toward chaos.
i will love like i have been loving, i will not fear the state of being wrong, and i will rest in reason and move in passion.
with ectropy, comes the state of harmony. when the pieces fall in such a way that align with you, when you have seemingly done nothing and everything appears to be acts of design, you are moving toward your destiny and acting in syntropy.
Lover whispers to my ear,
“Better to be a prey than a hunter.
Make yourself My fool.
Stop trying to be the sun and become a speck!
Dwell at My door and be homeless.
Don’t pretend to be a candle, be a moth,
so you may taste the savor of Life
and know the power hidden in serving.”
this cannot be wrong.
