“Man’s reach exceeds his grasp”
-Nikola
Tesla, The Prestige
Communication. The
greatest struggle in life is taking the thoughts from your mind, forming the
words to express the ideas verbally, and being articulate enough for another
person to intake them, and then mentally process them. We are fortunate if
there is any understanding achieved.
Thoughts are like the Aether, the air of the gods, too high up to reach. But if
you could reach, could you grasp it? Could you scoop up a handful, and could
you pull this heavenly element down to earth? And if so, could you keep it here
without it floating away?
So, normally I don't take the time to share my thoughts. There's too much that can go wrong. From me failing to
understand my own thoughts, to not using the right words in expressing, to the
person hearing misinterpreting, to the ideas being altered within the confines
of another person's mind, to how people may react and how these reactions will
affect and alter my world. My ideas are only kept safe and pure within my mind.
So I keep them there.
It has been awhile since
I have blogged. I journal, but I normally keep these writings to my self. The
most untainted, nearly perfectly articulated texts of mine. However, I have
been going through immense changes in my life, and I have no idea where these
changes will lead me, but I don't want to leave behind the people I love while
on this journey. And the only way I can make sure that doesn't happen is to
share with you where I'm at, when I'm there.
So
here goes.
This is very much appreciated. I think you're right, that if you don't share with people you love along a journey, you may end up losing them. I am happy to see you are being so honest and transparent. That can be so hard, yet I hope it is rewarding for you as the ones you love encourage and embrace you. I look forward to being some small part of this journey with you, in whatever way that may be.
