got me in a haze running for cover
where we gonna go from here.
the melodies carried by a soft clarinet are the best in the world. nothing can be compared to the sound of air passing through the wooden body and out the chromed metal openings. it is justification for cutting down a tree to me.
i question whether or not i make the right decisions every day. should i go left or right? right? ok. now which foot first? i read in scientific american one time that every moment in your life creates a separate but parallel universe in which the inverse of the decision you made is being made. and for every decision thereafter it compounds. perspective of what is, completely leaves us. i want the universe i am in to be good so i worry about what decision i make now. though i suppose so many other parallels have ended in death and i am glad to have missed those. to imagine that one point in your life that has the most significant impact changing, changes everything. would i be where i am? would i know who i know? would you be reading this out there? every question has its answer in me and an alternate and a combination of the two in different ways and so on.
the best strategy i find is to listen to the clarinet. some piano. and maybe some cello if you are lucky. then sit back and let it all come to you. it is easiest to let it come to you. it is easiest to keep moving.

I wonder about this often. How my life would be completely different based on the smallest decisions I have made. It is really quite strange to think about- how you meet people and situations in your life. The smallest decisions lead to the biggest impacts. So strange to recognize.
ReplyDeleteThe more interesting ones are the ones that would have happened either way. When people came to you. When they found you. Nothing you have done in your life has intersected with theirs so no matter what choice you made they would still have come in... that gives me comfort. Makes me feel like the world is not on my shoulders and I am not the chance that everything is left up to.
