November 29, 2003Everything....
"I've learned in all those places from all those people is wrapped up in those two words. You've got to have something to eat and a little love in your life before you can hold still for any damn body's sermon on how to behave. Everything I am and everything I want out of life goes smack back to that" An interesting start… I am not sure this is a shared vision of how to look at the world, but its an interesting start. So the question is, what do I go smack back to? Love is a good start, but what IS love? What thing is so important in my self-definition that I can claim, “everything I am, and everything I want out of life goes back to it” I think the way holiday used it; this self-understanding is a sort of tool that is used to value and explore the experenices in her life. Is that true? Who knows? But I want to know what I go smack back to; and I am thinking about it lots. How about you? If you are reading this, share. What do you think? Comments
i think thats probably a question most everybody asks themselves, albeit in different ways. i just got to university; all the people here are trying to find ways of finding what defines them, what they go "smack back to". I've come to believe that to try to define yourself is an illusion. its like trying to measure all the free energy in the universe- by measuring it you are actually changing it. Do things that make you happy, and you will be more open to loving, whatever that happens to be, wherever you happen to be. no two people treat love the same way but as i have found from many of the people that i love, both family and friends, love is not as elusive as it is made out to be.
