It's not the first time that I've disappeared into the wilderness void. I Find myself battling my own psyche with a statement that I deal only in absolutes. Saying such a thing contradicts my very essence, even thinking this way is a form of an absolute therefore continuously spiraling.
The mountains have a way of exciting my soul and calming my mind simultaneously.
As I meditate, we meet on these mountaintops. This energy lasts eternally, or does it not? Gathered around a hexagonal fire full of stones, this is a familiar meeting place.
I'm not much for extremely large gatherings, the intimacy of a small group is something I am more fond of. The camp and tribe here has a way of bringing us together like a family. This is a way of living that has been lost amongst society. Every night we build a fire and connect through stories while creating warm memories.
In a few days I may take another cosmic journey, entering with questions, entering with intent. Should there be intent? Is this hypocritical to the way of the Tao? "Taoist ethics vary depending on the particular school, but in general tend to emphasize wu wei (action without intention), "naturalness", simplicity, spontaneity and the Three Treasures: 慈, "compassion", 儉, "frugality" and 不敢為天下先, "humility".
I am because we are, we are because I am. Peace is in letting go, peace is external and internal. Peace is infinitely up to the creator's perception, this is free will and this is not. All is balanced, all is everything, all is you, all is me and all is nothing. Speaking in absolutes, this is not my essence. Forming bonds with others and with the self becomes absolutes of some sort. I cannot speak on the infinite, that which has no beginning or end. Is this another absolute?
We have designated a place in the fridge as leftover land, this is a good place and as close to an absolute as I can define although easily replaced or forgotten.
