Whatever may be… becomes possible according to our own unique will, destiny and intention. It neither exists nor does not exist, nor both. We call it ‘potential’, not really understanding what this means, but nonetheless possessing a vague sense of both interest and urgency, and a more obvious sense which avoids these in order to find distraction in various species of trivial pursuits… little dissociations… whose shadows mimic a ‘path’ we might otherwise have adored, attended, and brought forth from the chaos of our waking minds and concerns.
