Esse Est Percipi ("To be is to be perceived") Indulging into the fathom of the mind can be troubling, may causes stumbling, and to some fear, and a hopeless anguish: Holding to perceived truths and its mementoes, are divine… Are they not? With a conclusion of thoughts, that they are past, and thus have no bearing on an end - can be foolish: Those that were, but are here no longer, have their conclusions somehow intertwine… Least we wouldn’t know what we now know, or otherwise think we know… Written words, once perceived in a mind and written, are those same words not re-perceived at their reading, again and again. A cyclical reminder woven into patterns: As if, a single question could have only one acknowledgement – How would that be possible? It cannot be woven without the thread, nor handed along without the handing, or the taking for consumption. Therefore being more a part of our knowledge than perceived, or admitted. To be perceived as singular, we, as humans would be as lonely pines in a forest of trees: Perceived as a forest of trees, by our very own bark, and simply stretching to make that growth adjustment, customary for change. Only to accommodate the size of the ever expanding trunk… Survival, is perceived in the forest, lazily, but none the less made, by the most decisive of creature: A survival, which is not imbedded in deep desire for those not so convicted to be more than a daily suffrage, not by vote, but by that very law which extends its law to all the creatures, that survivor’s law… Are we that simple a miracle? A magician’s puff of smoke? A fish, now gone solo aria? That seemingly nothingness empty bowl filled to its brim with all the wonders and delight not since that eternal weave seen below the currents of the sea? When we cannot even explain the very essence of that sea, or what power holds it to the ground below: Did we always know what spinning around could hold? The speed of the flux within its own mystery? “Esse Est Percipi” – what do you want to be? That proverbial “Fish out of water”, or bark on a tree? As for me: I was perceived by an extraordinary supernatural Creator of all that is and ever will be. Even if to be… The lesser of His own perception… |

Not sure why this has sat here ignored all this time. But this was an interesting read and a conclusion that I concure with. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
