“At the age of six I wanted to be a cook. At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since.” Salvador Dali

as much as you think you know

you are just skimming the very surface &

as much as i could possibly imagine,

i will never live long enough to even come close enough to

shout over the edge

of what i could even begin to try & understand---

as the very essence of what it is to be human stares back at us

that mirror cannot deny,

we know absolutely nothing---

and though one talks of “we,” and then in retrospect,

one can question one’s own audacity at even claiming some kind of

commonality that can be

spoken of,

i try & comprehend what it is to try & comprehend,

coming back to that very beginning assertion

that i try to make sense of more & more each day

wherein every single stone that one picks up

underneath two more reside &

under that there lies an onion,

which gets peeled away

again,

in the eternal effort to come to terms with those around us,

with the struggles that may not affect us directly,

but which in knowing better we can better our lives as

humans.

 

never stop trying to learn more

never stop delving further into the human experience

never stop peeling away at your own skin

(trying to get at the real you)

never stop trying to understand those around you better

never stop being open to others inquiring &

never

ever

stop questioning---

keep your curiosity alive

no matter what.
