The Ordinary
In time, we awake to the moving patterns and the configurations of the world. We reach a state of ordinary awareness about ordinary things. We gain a sense of the events around us, where they will lead, how friendships are formed through adventures together, how people brush shoulders and become enemies, how we make decisions, how we adjust to the decisions made by others, and more.
We may be curious as to why things are but we may only uncover how they are, instead, how they come to be, how they decay, and how they affect a sequence of events. It is something to understand this much, even, to know the workings of the littlest fragments of the mundane world.
We strive and learn the ways of our nature, of the world around us, the sciences of life and non-life, of the arts and rules of human and non-human interactions. We feel our connection to the river of life, the flow of joy and sadness around us. We become aware of gulfs of sorrows and of the sources of disappointments inside.
We may not yet know how to leave behind such disappointments. We are testing the ordinary ways.
