| Four - Self in a Complex World | |
|
|
Curiosity and appreciation of the many patterns of the universe. Also a feeling of being overwhelmed and dwarfed by them. |
|
|
A sense that life feels jagged, jumbled...but also jazzy. I don't always feel connected to it, but I do fit in. It feels solitary at times, but I often prefer it that way. I'm not averse to the darkness. |
|
|
This is a very happy self-image because it reminds me of the many wonderful delights in the universe, the joy of incorporating some of them and the humbling realization that I'll never absorb it all. |
|
|
A wish for time to encounter all the mysteries and pull them into my psyche. Melancholy about the impossibility of experiencing it all. |
