He often stared deep into the distance, trying to see through the distractions of the world around him — all while navigating across uncharted waters.
Once or twice a decade, moments of intense clarity would reverberate through him with an intoxicating energy. At times, he wondered back at those moments. If only he knew how to harness it to his sails. Maybe then the waters would seem friendlier.
Perhaps in the next decade, see you then.
Lately, I’ve been toying around with the idea of invisible universes that exist around us. An invisible universe that compels people towards each other, or places, where they can find the best version of themselves.
I guess that’s how I would best describe my psyche towards things that I want to do — there’s this invisible pull/desire/ambition etc. that just wants to keep doing. It doesn’t care much for accolades or popular recognition, it just wants to build and do.
There’s a lot of talk about the “flow” state that people enter when they penetrate a deep focus barrier. I can’t stop but wonder whether this flow state is what the universe around us feels like when everything is in alignment: what you’re doing is what you’re supposed to be doing at this exact point in time of the life cycle of the universe.
I wonder why then, do some things (& people) often feel like a completely uncategorizable form of energy. There’s an impulse to immediately knee jerk them into a “bad” bucket to keep far away from — but that would mean doing a disservice to yourself. How do you know they’re not meant to show you a different perspective?
Whether its a stranger that shares nothing in common with you, starting a business from scratch, or even rekindling a relationship with an estranged family — there’s this dissonance that exists with uncharted waters that I crave yet also cringe.
