Avert Your Eyes - Tumblr Posts
things i am thinking of recently:
entropy: how the universe creates and is meant to descend into chaos and how silly we as living things are to raise our fists to the sky and demand order or sense out of its disarray.
pomegranates: there is something tender in the way our fingers claw through the flesh of this fruit, the way we tear through it as it bleeds and weeps for us. this might be what desire feels like.
cups and cans: i collect and compile countless cups and cans around the corners of my room when my brain or my life gets busy. only to at some point in the distant future, realize how many things i have cast off and simply thrown to the side. realization hits me in the quiet. on my hands and knees, i pick up the cups and cans till i am empty again.
eudaimonia: the sense of virtue. the good life. i let out quiet giggles when i first understood the word. a good place. it is the way we have to struggle to be good in every choice and word and action. to struggle to be virtuous because our nature is not kind. struggle to be.
being stuck in the maze: the concept of non-attachment scares me. being loathe to let go of the things you desire and crave. willing to lose everything. one cannot eliminate suffering. but the only path forward is to be completely vulnerable. the only path is love.
