Stick with what you know, while building
I'm glad that I can see more broadly. That I know more now and know that there is so much I do not know, so much that I will come to know, so much that I'll never approach to know. It is a bit taxing to be aware of all this at any given moment and try to take action. Leaves me feeling like I'm in the middle of a desert valley with many directions to go towards... but instead of approaching these potentials, I see these directions as shrinking into my center, intimidating my will, putting me in a kind of stupor. Hey... mythology! You've been lacking here, I see. Damn, makes me feel human again.
Another thing: I'll never rid myself of my self-centeredness. But I can learn to see through it and beyond it.
Words are difficult to navigate these days. I want to KNOW what people are saying, fully and deeply, and there is no way to know. My little mind can wonder, but that is just my mind directing the show of someone else's play. What can we do? Talk, and talk some more, and ask and listen, and maybe not worry about the talk so much and live to engage. Words somehow fail or disappoint when they're the end, not the means.
Interpretation. Yeah, it's part of the game. But not THE game. What matters is us in it together, love.
(What is a word? A miserable pile of secrets!)
Optimism is important. So are other things.
