Thisness

Of all the pitfalls in our paths and the tremendous delays and wanderings off the track I want to say that they are not what they seem to be. I want to say that all that seem like fantastic mistakes are not mistakes, all that seem like error is not error; and it all has to be done. That which seems like a false step is simply the next step.
Agnes Martin

When I was a kid I saved myself

When I grew up I solved myself

Now I’m older and wiser I know I did neither.

There’s what you should do, what you shouldn’t do and what you’re going to do anyway.

In my estimation, the wisest among us are those who live without answers to ultimate questions, understanding that each moment is sufficient unto itself.
