What (who) planted the tree that carried the seed that is you? You can cycle that back as far as you want and you still won't have a definitive answer. Where did the building blocks (elements) come from that are required for organic life to materialize? Take that all the way back and it's called source. Now people talk about the big bang. An explosion in space that caused all this. But what caused the explosion? Was it the hand of god? Approximately 14 billion years ago, what stirred in the galaxy of galaxies to give birth to this, our galaxy? It's a frivolous claim we make, don't you think? " Our" galaxy. And it still took another approximately 10 billion years for earth to come into existence. It's unfathomable. Here is the entire universe, inching along at snail's pace in its infinite expansion, and here we are like mad (wo)men rushing through the zeptosecond that is indeed our life. We are mere mayflies, yet tremendously influencing the only habitat we are able to tolerate in the form we are in. It seems as though the intelligence that is creation included us as a necessary part of its design. Have you ever wondered if we were put in place to (self) destruct the exact and only environment we "chose" to exist in? Like a tumor that takes over its life support system on its inevitable way to death. It sounds horrendous but then we are a horrendously invasive species on a planet that existed billions of years before we seemingly came out of nowhere. We are all in this particular cycle of life. There is no escaping that. There is no waking up one morning and being something different than we are. Like for a tree to suddenly decide to change into a dragonfly instead. We can not relieve ourselves from our duty that comes with being human that easily. What we can do though, is to take in the tremendous impact our very brief lives have and maybe begin to change our habitually aggressive ways of dominant existence into a kinder way of co-existence. Not all tumors are fatal for the environment they subexist in. If you want to empower your privilege of free will, maybe that would be the most realistic way to make use of it. Not just for ourselves, but for life period. ~•~ a beautiful milieu Art Heike K
