Oh So NEW!

There is a grave misconception amongst our humanity, I feel…

…That there is no greater perfection or beauty then within a finished product.

With its glorious angles and defining lines, with its fresh coats of paint or its new car scent, or its literary perfection. In whatever area we perceive, in whichever career or department or path ventured upon…perfection lies only in the grace of a completed project.

However beauteous and marvelous this may appear, every finished product also requires its due maintenance; and often the requirements of maintenance supersede those of building this “finished product.” Laborious indeed it would appear to the outsider looking in, so is there such a thing as a finished product I ask myself?

I find charm in a path, in a journey, in an undertaking, in the dynamic forming of a new something. Every moment it is shifting, changing, never dull, never pale…always full of variant colors and hues and the fragrance of newness which form in each moment its new life.

We are not finished products, I’ve determined. We are an ongoing production, a composition spanning eons, a decadent masterpiece generating itself piece by miniscule piece, building upon itself fragment by fragment. Will we ever be completed? Will we ever be the perfection of a finished product? Perhaps perfection is an illusion in itself, and beauty is the defining of an ever evolving process of change?

It almost doesn’t matter,… does it? If the focus is on the end, then you never truly live the moments that are creating your path.

What is the purpose of being gifted such a path then? To destroy it with the wish-fulness of death? Or to master its moments and revel in its ever changing dynamism?

Why do we fear that which is unknown to us? Where did this fear originate? The fear of losing things, the fear of losing security and control? Being unlimited in our nature, how did we allow ourselves to perceive such limitedness?

These are my ponderings,…
