As humans, we are at the mercy of ourselves.

Every single day of our existence, we are in a constant state of adaptation – emotionally, physically, and mentally … unconsciously seeking a state of homeostasis: Balance.

The more we grasp after things, the more greedy we become for those things. The more we satisfy our ill will, the more angry we become and we fuel the very fires we are trying to extinguish. We unintentionally repel that which we desire and fail to attain the urges that live deep within simply because we are too attached to outcomes; to ourselves.

Wherever we are in life, there is always the potential for change; for transformation. This is not something that should be taken for granted because it is an incredible gift. We are not ideal, but would like to be. Be cognizant of the fact that, in the journey for the ideal, every cause and condition is impermanent. Find solace in the acceptance that the only constant in life is an unending series of inconsistency. We can create routines, niches, ruts, places where we feel comfortable, temporary fixes, addictions, band-aids, shields … but we are not immune to circumstances beyond our control. Change and its energy is the way of the universe. It is how all things are created and destroyed.

We clumsily tread a series of cycles, actions and reactions, yins and yangs. A life of balance is one that will return the most reward. Getting overly caught up in the process will do damage. There is no beaten path, no manual … just existence and its side effects. Within each mind lies its own cosmos and the beautiful machine of our bodies attached – both exceptionally capable of functioning within the realms of their intricately formed ecosystems; their only caveat is that “we” are driving them. As beings with free will, there are never any guarantees.

This playlist is light and dark…sweet and sour. 1.2 hours of beautiful distraction. One complete revolution of my human experience, on a Thursday afternoon. A catalyst for a metaphysical moment of clarity that only a select few will ever know about.
