This I know for sure (sort of)

I know that people are basically good. I know that there is suffering. (I know that….) A cold pale ale tastes especially tasty after a hard day’s physical work. I can always do better. I am a decent person. I could always do more (or less). There is no best path. Sports can simultaneously be meaningless and the most important benevolent force in the universe. We all will die. Music is magical. Live music is magical squared. Nothing starts to get better until everything starts to get better. Everything is connected. Presence is super wonderful. We build the path as we walk it. Everything is an illusion. My wife will never like olives.

 

I will likely never be a theist nor an atheist. There is more to experience and enjoy and give and learn than there is time to do so. Everything is going to be okay. Good-enough is very underappreciated. Jazz is America. Comfortable shoes are really important. Women will never achieve true equality until their jeans have actual front pockets. I cannot know what it is like to be you. You and I are the same. I cannot know how confusing it is to be a teenager during a global pandemic. Truth and honesty and integrity and compassion and humility and bravery are timeless and I love them with more energy and focus than I can possibly possess. Every blob of Yang has a tiny infinite sea of Yin within it. Oprah won’t mind that I am musing about what I know for sure.

 

Causality is attributed to many more relations than it applies to. Linearity is a dangerous illusion. Everything is magic. Today may be the best day of my life. The way to receive is to give. The only way to accomplish impossible things is to begin. It is wonderful to go backwards and sideways at times. We waste a lot of energy and resources and opportunity. Fear is one of the most pervasive diseases of sentient beings. I am an animal. My dog really did love me as much as I loved her. My grandmother lives on in me and now on in my daughter. Most people either love baseball or think it is pointless. Soccer should be called football. Football should be called testosterone. We can never be safe. It is always possible to be compassionate. Suffering ends once purpose is found. We can only control our reactions to things, not the things themselves. We all somehow get into the slowest checkout line most of the time yet this seemingly does not violate the laws of thermodynamics.

 

I am not a good speller (ha!) Today I am down for some reason. I am not these thoughts nor this body. Love love love love. The sun will eat the Earth one day, likely not this week. Fashion is weird. Starting a project at night or on a Friday is a bad idea. Solid sleep is golden. Everything tastes good with cheese on it. Math is beautiful. Everything is derivative. There is only one lesson to learn, presence. There is only one time, now. I can’t wait to muse again someday.
