Thoughts on vision

Since my last blog many things have changed. 

I am 24.

I have lived a little more.

As I grow in capabilities and in solidness of self i am realising.

Realising how little I know and how many unanswered questions I have; On life, on love, on the human condition. I have a desire to ask many questions and to express these issues that lie within my soul but no idea how. And as they lie untouched they tie knots in my chest.

I wish to share some of them here, if you wish to read them then please enjoy. 

I hope reading these poses questions for you. If so please share them because your questions will no doubt provoke more for others.

Thoughts on vision:

Why would we need a vision?
Why do we need to see clearly why we do what we do?

I feel we are sometimes like fish.
Fish caught in the currents of other peoples desires.
Other dreams that have swept us up.

Sweeping us further and further from understanding our own desires.
Moving us further from our directions, our true paths.

We can move aside.

Step from the currents created by the blind.

To look at their journey and ask, is it mine?

I personally dont want to live a life just because I've started.

We have to know why.

To live is a rare thing.

To be alive is easy, even the simplest of things can be alive.

But to live.

This is a richness that words cant express.

And it's possible, reachable but not without duress.

We must look inside and ask those questions of ourselves that we fear.

I fear myself, I am ugly and a coward. 

I fear my own fear as I fear myself.

I wish to be more truthful, selfless and generous to others but must accept myself as I accept my brothers.

This is a journey of which I am at early steps.

I am simply a human just like the rest.

Life can be so subjective.

With a thousand sides to every story.

But this is why we must work to educate ourselves. 

And not to a point of having more answers, but to a point of having the right questions.

To a point of having the courage to look at what you see.

We must educate ourselves because you are the only one who can set yourself free.
