A question came to my mind as I was wondering about the richness and depth-filled-ness of experiencing. The more I have been mulling in it, the more beautiful and wondrous it becomes.
If we use language that is flat and our experiences are spherical-simultaneous-dimensional, how can we truly experience ourselves, our worlds and our relations?
Language includes more than the words we use. It’s the creator of our particular pattern. Perhaps we consistently continue learning and making part of our world new languages, new words, new symbols. Perhaps we use our language differently, interchanging new vocabulary for occurrences. Would that lead to a new experience? Perhaps, even a new story of myself? I think yes and perhaps a wonder-filled way to play and become pliable. The feeling of stagnation comes to mind with the image of trying to move in a landscape of thick deep mud when I think about employing language to know something too well. What gets lost in the knowing? What is still unknown? And what is truly unknowable? Nothing? Perhaps, at the end everything? Perhaps, that does not matter as much as stagnation stops us from knowing the continuous unfolding, shaping and deepening of our stories, of each other.
“New organs of perception come into being as a result of necessity. Therefore, O man, increase your necessity, so that you may increase your perception” Jallaludin Rumi
To increase our necessity—our ways of seeing! The universe feels bigger just with the thought. Imagine, if we played in the questions. Perhaps not fun-filled at each turn but being in this play – this living life – with joy and connection would be a wonder-filled exploration with deeply rich discoveries. It seems.
