Charms

We are all but "charms" attached on a never ending necklace...fastened brilliantly upon the universal strand. Each of us reappears within the images that surround us...We can look and touch our souls, as we set our sights deeper into the eyes of others. Alone we are, but only as we listen to the voice of our individuality...That is a part of one's powerful drive to extend the tips of our branches towards the one's we do not.

At times, we can become like two trains colliding. What can be produced from this collision depends on the nature of the joining (whether the attraction was created out of pain, loneliness, greed, heartbreak, hatred, or love.) No matter what the basis may be, the fact remains that the collision becomes our "experience" and the debris (or what came out of this crash) is our "becoming"...The present state of our situation, (The Now) which from the very moment of its birth, is already inching itself towards another collision. Proving more to the fact of our growth and the ongoing truth that as a whole, a people...as one--we are always becoming life, and our position is inescapable from change. One might experience a sense of starving, but not knowing exactly what would make this cease. In turn, not being conscious of what precisely it is that one needs...what one's truth yearns for.

This is the very feeling of what it is to always be becoming. It's not a bad thing. It should not, however, be confused with what we want...For that is not what we always need. One may consciously picture, with detailed clarity, the things that he or she may want. We (as a people) are usually pretty good at voicing what it is that one may prefer of desire. But what one might find difficult in doing, is trying to picture or capture in words the objects, aspects, dualities, or surroundings that are truly needed, to flourish, to grow, to continue on while harnessing all of one's potential as the situations and complications or life reinvent themselves over and over again.
