Cerebral Tinkering

I think its inspired by nature, this evaluation or self-critique that usually happens this time of year. That new blossoming feeling, possibilities, freedom; they all contribute to my personal checklist of life. I've been in, and still am in this funky quicksand of slowed motion. And its easy to slip into self-pity when you feel this way. And usually when I hit that place, something comes along and smacks me into realizing I'm still alive, breathing, moving, and should really quit whining. Today it was the simple beauty of humanity.

I'm easily fascinated by the way our body rhythms change with the environment around us and influence so much about how we interact with our world, and how we even interact with ourselves. Its divine, this self we all have. Capable of changing the course of a world, discovering amazing things, or just simply being a good friend that comes along at the perfect time for someone.

Human nature, and the divinity of being human simply fascinates me. It allows us to settle into a daily monotony of routine, but can queue us to do inspirational feats. Humanity, in all its ugly clumsiness, dogmatic disagreements and flawed ideas of self-importance is still beautiful. I am fascinated. ~
