The Lady Talis and I have been talking about intentions. She is a person who sets clear intentions. I intend to be. This is what I would have formally (and formerly) referred to as a resolution. There is distinction in terms. Language gives space for nuance and also opportunity. An intention falls under the territory of opportunity and belief system in my mind. I will use this year to set clear intentions and goals about my future all the while being grateful for each additional day of consciousness I am allowed by the universe.
We are all up against that ticking clock. The older I get the more I hear the thunderous chime of the hands turning. They don’t spin any faster or slower than they ever did, nor do I believe in the concept of running out of time as it is commonly explained. Running out of time, to me, indicates that there was and always has been a limit of time. I think that limit is preset. I think we always die when we are supposed to (which is why I love the Final Destination series concept). I fear that when people speak of running out of time they ascribe it to age, when age and aging have almost no impact on it save for that the older you get, the more you realize how little time you possibly have left.
I’m realizing it on my end and it scares and empowers me. So, what comes next?
Some Thoughts:
- My Youtube Year in Review pointed to Zenfinite as my top visit. That got me thinking about how the movements we make digitally leave a footprint and how these footprints create a path towards our inner psyche. I often wonder who people reveal themselves to be when they think others are not watching. That footprint can be extremely telling. Youtube isn’t the only one watching. Google personalizes your search results by default. Instagram and other social media sources are quite open about doing such. We collectively call this the algorithm and it really does speak to who we are.
- I was going to write something else but I entirely forgot what it was…
- Maybe the intention this year ought to be to strengthen my mind and memory.
