Mythos & Marginalia

2015 – 2025: a decade of days


open space

  • our experience

    More of a feeling, we see ourselves from
    the inside. What does the mirror reflect?

    Do we see ourselves as we see others?

    Only will we know our experience, yet we
    all experience the same seven deadly sins.

    Some more than others.

    How do we deal with knowing as little
    as we do about how someone else feels?

    Do we truly know how we should feel?

    Of course there is pride, as sure as there
    is greed; or envy and the wrath of all that.

    There is no delicate balance in this life.

    We lust for others. We live for ourselves.
    Do you see others as you see yourself?

    What do you feel today?

  • SAD

             Seasonal depression.  
        Absence of light,    darkness  
    takes account over too much of our 
    mind.    Albeit temporary, for a time.
         Disruptive.  
          Denigrating. 
       Deceptive days so short,    nights  
    become long,    we are anything  
        but strong.    SAD.     It is real. 
    Random thoughts stain our psyche 
    like salt on the sidewalk.  
         Undeserved. 
           Unfulfilling. 
       All we know is all we feel and it  
         is not good.      Even confusion  
            would seem more satisfying.

  • collectively

    Divided by differences, purposely
    or subconsciously, our bias evident
    even when it is not shown.
    The distance between Us and Them.
    Aren’t we all trying to live through
    these moments individually and
    collectively? Is it all so necessary?

    The now will extend to the future, the past becoming a part of it all. 
       By taking the steps in the days ahead, you influence what will become of your past. 
       Now is as much a time for change as it is reflection.  
       The past can motivate you to go further. 
       Few things remain the same.
