Like Tears in the Rain

[Fool]

Is that why some hold on to life so strongly? that in the infinite evolution, or involution, it will simply be washed away in the torrent? that person that we were, or thought we were? could be? would we hold on to at it any cost, even becoming like automatons and losing our empathy for others as self??

where have all those moments gone?


for the joy and sorrows we have known as friend

I sometimes think it is peculiar how we do not see the fleeting nature of sexual pleasure as readily refuting its value to us, but are so quick to think the fleeting nature of life ultimate reduces or even destroys its worth.

I see in the participants here.....

many souls of complex thought and feeling
generated in a speck of time
about to launch into infinity

this starting point we call life may well be brief
and this existence may fall from us like the dust it is made of

but without this beginning......how then anything more?

O man, take care! What does the deep midnight declare? "I was asleep— From a deep dream I woke and swear:— The world is deep, Deeper than day had been aware. Deep is its woe— Joy—deeper yet than agony: Woe implores: Go! But all joy wants eternity— Wants deep, wants deep eternity." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche (Thus Spoke Zarathustra)

Philip K Dick never hid the fact that he was gnostic. And his many books show it.
