I took the "wIndrOw" posting and decided to
play with some ideas in response.

Life is created by the dance of chaos and cosmos,
order and apparent disorder. Out of the perfect
order of the absolute stillness of death, structure
and form arise. Nothing is by chance. All arise
from the eagerness of life seeking outward expression.

Ever the apparent vacuum of interstellar space is
rich with the subtlest life. It supports beings so
expansive in nature that only the slightest breath
of theirs touches our gross physical world, appearing
as the most basic quantum effects of matter.

The basis of being is love and cooperative co-creation.
All jostle together in struggling harmony to carve out
a world out of the most basic prima materia. Malice has
no place. It only arises when we fail to follow our
inner compass and put ourselves in the wrong places and
with the wrong people.

Each has its own time line. The experience of duration
is as personal and unique as the experience of position
and motion in space. We may count the nanoseconds or the
megayears with equal composure. Much as we can rise to
higher planes or sink to lower planes, we may rise on
the temporal logarithmic scale to an inner clock that
ticks out cosmic periods of time or sink to tick out times
that keep pace with subatomic particles.

We have no limits in all directions. But in a practical
sense, there is an extent in our grasp, our reach, our
comprehension. There's a point beyond which we just cannot
conceive or otherwise experience. That is our ring-pass-not,
a fuzzy rather than distinct barrier where we find our
own self-made separation from the All. Like a broadcast
radio signal, our sweep of awareness has its attenuation and
practical limits.

There is no fate. We only find parts of ourselves that we
have not visited for a while that come back like long
unseen friends. In our hearts, we always knew these parts
of ourselves. Deep within, we experience a personal form
of timelessness, an awareness of our complete nature that
only shows one facet at a time in the external temporal,
physical world.

There is no unknown. There is only unexpressed. It takes
time to bring out all our facets, and what we apparently
do not know is really parts of our nature that just are
waiting their turn to come out into the world. The future
is as real a part of ourselves as the past, and all that
we'll ever know there is already within us, part of our
timeless nature.

With effort, we build, grow, create, and become a brighter
light in the world. With passivity, we allow things to
wear out, decay, stay uncreated, and become a drain upon
the brilliant efforts of our fellow beings. The effort is
effortless, though, when we give ourselves to it with
creative love. It is simple our true nature shining through
into the world.

When our inner nature awakens, it is like the rising of
the bright, life-giving disk of the sun over the eastern
horizon. The creatures of the world stir into life, and
a new day is born. Although it will rise in due time,
cosmic in nature and not subject to the wishes and whims
of mere forest creatures, paradoxically, it comes because
we have awakened the right readiness within. It rises
because we've made *now* the right time and it cannot
help but respond.
