Day 074n: Ever your Ultimate Art … (June 27, 2019)

Among the great & noble struggles of man there is also the mighty conflict between the fantasy of Home and the fantasy of Away; the dream of roots countered by the mirage of the journey … And this tugging tension belies an even deeper Truth: that we ultimately have no control over how our stories begin or end. And yet by now, we should at the very least know that all things do have an ending. Every spark returns to darkness; every sound returns to silence; every flower returns to the earth. The journey of the sun and moon is predictable and constant. But yours is not. Your life – both where it goes and what it stands for – is ever up to you; is ever your ultimate art.” ~ inspired by Salman Rushdie & Suzy Kassem
