I am not a morning person . I’m not a night person either. I’d say I’m a 5 minutes somewhere between breakfast and lunch person. Though I know not everybody eats breakfast or lunch. I should have said morning and noon. Anyhow, if I can get in my 5 minutes of personhood, then I have accomplished what I am capable of. It has been awhile since I have done that. Yet I continue on, only mildly daunted, knowing that somewhere sometime along the way I will receive that reminder of why I am.
The world is turning constantly. Hurtling through space. An oasis of possibility. Blink, and then it is gone.
Words lie. People lie. People use words to lie. Words cannot really describe the truth. When I try to describe the truth with words, I end up lying. No way around that. The best we can do is perhaps just a lie of omission. Leaving something out. Because it doesn’t fit our version of the truth. Maybe its just something that we conveniently don’t remember. Or maybe we do, but we are so good at reshaping the truth to fit our lies that we can effectively ignore some things, almost as if they don’t exist. It is in this half-way realm between truth and lies that words carry us.
