stoned thoughts on the bowl of light:
This is just rambling and subject to deletion after a few re-reads. Ya know I was just thinking, not something I do often enough... As I have my coffee and cannabis to start my day I can't help but think how good life is. Even when it's downright cr@ppy it's still pretty good. It's all I've known and I like it here - I'm not afraid to go away, hey I've been dead a lot longer than I've been alive (between 13 & 17 billion years longer by the best estimates) It's just that as far as I know life has been a lot more eventful than the death part regardless of length of time.
I think of all the good people I've met, all the animals that have been a part of my ever changing pack over the years, the family, friends & mistakes I've made... as well as the many many good things I've enjoyed right along with the bad. I think of us and what funny little creatures we are; how we are both the angels and the demons of our own hopes and nightmares.
Some dear friends are currently traveling and their adventures have brought them to one of the pinnacles of mans achievements - Breaking the bonds of earth to fly among the stars celebrated at the Kennedy Space Center. Many wonder why go to space when we still have so much to learn about earth and we have so many problems here that seem much more pressing with money best spent somewhere the atmosphere is included. Life does what life does, it strives, it seeks, it consumes and changes and does it all again. We will never solve all off the human problems as long as there are humans to have problems but the opportunity to seek out 'strange new worlds & boldly go where no one else has gone before' is in my view, simply what we do and what life is...
And life with all of it's wonder and pain, joy & sorrow, plants & politics though much much shorter in duration than it's counterpart is so very precious & awesome that I can not help but believe (based upon the evidence compiled in my opinion) that while there are many of the wonders of life worth dying for; I've yet to find one idea worth killing for.
"I don't believe in destiny or the guiding hand of fate, I don't believe in forever, or love as mystical state, I don't believe in the stars or the planets or angels watching from above; but I believe there's a ghost of a chance for us to find someone to love - and make it last' - N. Peart
