_what if i knew i had say, ‘how may i know you?”
the movie of the same title was suprisingly interesting and entertaining, although the theme has been repeatedly explored in hollywood. the introduction of the whole chaos theory and the butterfly effect is noteworthly in destorying the fallacy of the power of change in hindsight. certainly, the power of the butterfly effect is a foundation of much buddhist prescriptions for curing the mind of itself. through all these seemingly insignificant pure thoughts and actions, one has the power to set forth a chain of actions that is well beyond the power of the individual.
so, it’s no shocking news that i am as far from the path but deep in the woods. it would seem that i am not really lost in the woods, but there is a general confident that the path is not of a linear one. respected friends i speak to and most will remind me that 3 years of this particular project known as orange is not all that long. as matter of a fact, if I were to be complete in 6 years, i would be the envy of some but regardless, it is not so much that i don’t have the patience to see it through but i am reminded by how short and precious life is. there is not enough time to just do prelims/foundational practices. in the end, i may resort to believing whatever was meant to be shall be but even that sort of belief requires the right movitation.
