Re-Discovery

To discover is a special thing.

To re-discover the importance of a day is a very special thing.

 

When we are children, our daily interaction with existence is so precise,

So momentary,

So involved,

So instantaneously important,

And yet we tend to forget about it’s importance as we grow older,

 

To the point that our days move past us in uselessness.

 

And then on an un-special day,

A realization:

 

“This is the day that lord has made,

I will rejoice and be glad in it,”

 

Still has heft if thought of as:

 

“This is the day I can make for me,

I will rejoice and be glad in it.”

 

Choice, you see.  Choose.

Pick, because it only barely matters.

Choosing is an act, and in the act we learn so much…

No matter what.

 

Choose life.

Do not wander blindly toward death

As if it were the ultimate goal of existence,

Because every day is the culmination of your existence,

And it could not be otherwise:

 

The future exists only in the imaginary

The past exists only in education.

 

Set goals, but do the things today that will

Accomplish those goals by understanding

That you’ll need to pull from your experience

And understanding.

 

Stay away from always,

Not because you shouldn’t,

But because you CAN’T always

Do anything, ever.

 

Re-discover yourself daily.

Ascribe childlike importance to

The mundanities of existence,

Now that you understand.

 

And for your homework:

1) Accept

2) Smile

3) Enjoy it

 

These are your experiences we’re talking about here, and nobody can have them but you—

That’s got to mean something in this existence where re-discovering a discovery of re-discovery

 

Is possible.
