Why are we drawn to things not good for us?
My body shakes, and I am drawn to investigate. I find trouble and myself covered in tar. Now, that I think back, the shake wasn't positive filled with excitement and joy, but I went forward anyways. Why? The same reason I choose chocolate, when I know spinach is better for my stomach. Why?
Because I think we come to experience. On one plane there is no good or evil, there just is experience, and we are here to experience. So, we wade in. It would be nice to remain whole, tidy, on our feet dancing, but this might be more akin from where we came. Here we seem to seek out getting muddled up in life, and we wind up flat on our face. We dust ourselves off, and say why did I do that. I know better than that. I can only say.... because we are human. Maybe even more apropos than the words "human being" would be "human experiencing" and if we could emprace That, and all that it entails we could celebrate even the moments we're covered in mud. Alas, to be alive is to experience, and to be human is to have our experience, so congratulations you are living!!!!
Robert By puts it this way in, "A Home In Dark Grass"
"We did not come to remain whole.
We came to lose our leaves like the trees,
The trees that are broken
and start again drawing up from the great roots."
