rampant rambling.

“I need to concentrate on each sound, so that each blade of grass holds the status of a flower.” – Arvo Pärt

ramblings:

all people in our world will form an infinite number of connections that will dictate the direction in which their lives will go.

it is our job to look at everything we encounter as important to our existence, even if it may seem insignificant at the time.

though we often assume that, when we are alone and quiet, we are devoid of all noise, Pärt makes it very clear that such an experience is actually when all of the most important sounds come out.

the sounds of a city as you sleep develop into a symphony of noise if properly appreciated.

we have been left with the clamor of our environments, and each separate thing we hear subconsciously leads us to another and develops into our own soundtrack to life. our society leaves us with no choice but to acknowledge these sounds, and our encounters with them are what drive our thoughts to develop, without our even speaking.

the myths that are constantly being created by our society are elastic and continuously changing, and so we have the ability to pick and choose what will affect us and what we will simply take for what it is and move on.

because myths are created by humans, they are inherently not eternal, but rather constantly evolving fabrications based out of a cloudy history.

to think that there isn’t some sort of implicit importance in acknowledging the effect that each tiny encounter we experience will have on the greater plane of our lives is ridiculous.

do our actions have an implicit value, or do they not each exist without a set context?

if we are to believe that everything can be a myth, we must also take up the responsibility of responding to each thing in the appropriately circulatory manner. to look at each thing we see from less than every angle would be to ignore something that could possibly be of vital importance to our experience of it. therefore, if we discard part of the information available to us about anything, we are hurting ourselves and ruining our chance for the understanding of something more important than the object itself.

everything we see can turn into something completely different, depending on who is observing it. also, since everything is a myth, everything is undefined, once we begin to examine it.

nothing is permanent. every movement and alteration is a chance to create something new and even more complex than what we thought was ever possible before.

exaggeration is often the only way we know how to find clarity.

though the complexities of each encounter we experience may cause us to question the true organization of nature, in the moments that we see clearly, we receive the gift of clarity in its purest form: not a total understanding of the world, but rather, the ability, even just for a second, to see change happening before us, evolving in our presence, without impediment.
