In the beginning

November 14th, 2009 · 1:10 pm @ Peter J. Levine  -  23 Comments

I’m sitting on something that is not for me yet it is mine only in so much as it is mine to give away. I have to give it away because if I don’t I can’t keep it, if I don’t keep it then it will be lost to me forever so I have to pass it on in order that whoever else is looking for it can absorb whatever it contains for them it being that everyone is different and derives separate nutrients from the same thing. The essence of the matter is that it is like a baton in a relay race that has been running ever since the first person arrived whoever and when ever that was.

We’re pretty good at middles, but not so clued up on beginnings and ends. The reason for that is that we are always in the middle of something it’s an inescapable fact but the beginning and ending of something is a little opaque, not quite so clearly defined. Look at the trouble we have with the end of the world. Someone somewhere is always proclaiming the end of the world, Nostradamus, the Mayans, prophets of doom and gloom, they’re ten a penny and obsess about the end being nigh. It does rather beg the question what exactly is the end of the world? The end of the current structure, the end of life on earth, the end of the party political system, the end of the current geopolitical hegemony, precisely what do these peddlers of misery advocate?

Then there’s the beginning. Well, there’s the beginning of the holy people, the seven day stuff. There’s the beginning of the archetypal Adam and archetypal Eve. There’s the beginning of the East African rift valley, there’s the Big Bang and generally there is confusion about where we all came from and how we got here. So beginnings and endings are a little enigmatic whereas we’re right in the middle, the now. A place between the past and the future, the beginning and the end.

Whenever that first day was, whenever that final day will be, there is a vast emptiness in between. Something that will be filled, nature abhors a vacuum, and this is where choice comes into the equation. You choose what you fill your time with. While there is the macrocosmic dilemma of beginnings and ends there is the microcosm that your life represents too, you were born and you will die. Your own story is probably not shrouded in as much mystery, the end is still enigmatic and the road you will travel to reach it will be paved by your experiences and the choices that you make.

In this I advocate only one thing, refine. All can be achieved through refinement. Take your skills and abilities and develop them, become something remarkable in your time and you will for ever derive sustenance along that road.
