I believe that everything is connected. And that despite our intrinsic connection to the universe around us, our lives are the direct result of the consequences we create.
That is not to say that I don’t believe that there is a unifying force that guides the universe, but I believe that within the physical construct of our existence that we are interactive, independent actors.
Actors on our own stage, a landscape of our choosing through action or inaction, when we stop we find ourselves where our actions have led us.
We cannot anticipate or prepare for every eventuality and sometimes the smallest action from the theater around us can shake the very foundation of our stage, maybe even change the scene. Or change our choices, such is the way the interaction part works.
To know where we are is to know where we have come from, to understand the consequences of the actions and the nature of the choices that we have made. To be able to examine and second-guess our past gives us the opportunity to predict our futures, and to… make choices, to take actions and then not just “live with” but to also accept responsibility for the consequences. And then to choose again.
I am an actor on a stage, the drama and sometimes comedy of my life is unscripted. The pen is in my hand.
I am an actor on a stage, but I am not the only one, nor is this the only stage.
