I am you, and you are me.

Floating in this ocean of life and thinking we have any control.

A human suit with memories, conditioning, emotions — guided by experiences that fit precariously like puzzle pieces into the now.

Past, future, present circumstances sometimes all blend together. Shifting timelines, enlightening perspectives, responsibilities, awakening... it is our (my) perception of reality. I can write the next chapter but the characters and conditions always take on a life of their own.

There were times when I held on to the small things I could manage, because it gave me a sense of power. But in the end it only brought suffering. It was like constantly trying to build a small tide pool to swim in, when I knew the ocean could effortlessly sweep it away in any moment. So I chose to surrender to the blissful current and be free. Whatever flows in is meant to be.
