WHO AM I?
Today’s waves in my life have been made in
the depths and the heights, both unseen. They both move the waters, and the
waters move me. Here are the forces:
The emancipatory and the imprisoning. The
evolutionary and the revolutionary. The participatory and the isolating. The
violent and the peaceful. The Platonic love and the erotic.
The
disruptive, destabilizing and the foundational launch-pads of my future. The
cosmic from above and the tectonic from below.
These make the cultural and personal winds
and weather that blow me about today – they shape my future. They blow from
behind and ahead. They make my life easy and a struggle.
WHAT DO I
WANT?
I want to kiss my yet unborn grand-babies.
So, I want the tools to harness the cosmic and the tectonic, to be able to
predict the weather, understand the currents, manage the doldrums, to know when
volcanoes will erupt and how to surf the crest of the tidal waves.
We all want to be worthy of the challenges
in our lives. But, who is it that prepares us for the unseen in our lives? Who
knows the unfathomable in our hearts? Where do I get forces for myself? What is
new for me is old for you. Who plans our lives BEYOND their term? Who leaves MY
legacy?
WHY AM I
HERE?
I am here to stretch your time window. To
encourage you to see into generations. To see today as only a step in the path
trod by yourself as you are today. But, the path is much bigger than you
think. It actually leads back to your
long dead great-grandmothers and their long dead great-grandmothers and
further. It leads forward to your yet unborn great-grandchildren and their yet
unborn great-grandchildren and further.
If the path is so much longer, you and I
will need to be stronger than we are today, much stronger.
We will need to fish deeply in our depths
for the deep running, gigantic parts of ourselves which we fear. We need the power
of the unseen leviathans we have thought were only nice literary devices. I
have lived my life hoping never to meet this fierce, wild part of your myself
and pretending it is not there. You?
I have been satisfied with the small steps
on today’s path, but to kiss my great-grandbabies, I need Time and Strength to
withstand the forces from the cosmos and the tectonic. Shall we fish for that
part of ourselves which can feed generations or kill us? Have we that kind of
courage?
To find it we need our Captain – the one
who plans our lives beyond their term, and our destiny. The Captain stands
ready to take us in hunt for ourselves.
So, let’s pull our big girl (or boy)
panties up, climb into the chair, strap ourselves in. Let’s grab the stout rod
the Captain hands us, watch them bait up the hook as big as our hand. The
Captain knows where to troll – over the currents which confront us, into the
wind which buffets us.
Stalk
yourself.
