The Wonder of It All
There are many times in my life when that fickle finger of fate has poked me in both eyes, blind-sided me with its perfidious promises of ecstasy, left me with helpless despair and loneliness, leaving me to learn that each subliminal moment must be offset by its presence.
Exceptions to that neat little summary?
Of course!
It’s all there in the gene pool which we all cast our ‘wonder’ at its origin.
For some it will be a life of great achievements along with the countering obstacles that must come calling. For this group of blessed mortal beings they are capable of humbly dismissing the vagaries of their lives, able to accept treachery and deceitful moments. This group is also able to accept, acknowledge, and with humility thank the ‘origin’ for the blessings.
This group passes through those dark and light dualities with dignity and honor. They live their lives with a blessed and most generous blend of gene pooling.
For some it will be a life of second-guessing, a balancing of dark and light shades of their existence, chasing their windmills in the darkness, waking to grim awareness in the light, and cursing the very nature of their mock-up. This group can also with varying degrees reluctantly acknowledge and perhaps not so humbly thank the ‘origin’ for their existence.
This group passes through the dark and light dualities with not so much dignity, honor, and order.
Identify the first Group as ‘A’.
Identify the second Group as ‘B’.
Which group do you think will be the poets, the writers, and the dreamers among us?
Which group do you think will be the ‘Movers and the Shakers’, the Architects, the barons of business, the politicians among us?
The ‘Origin’ is known by some, believed known by others, not so much by many.
Ah, ‘The Wonder of It All’!
