Make peace with the past or it will consume you. Like a tiger gnawing on bones, the days of our ancestors will consume those who cannot lay them to rest. A one-sided story is a lie of omission. Happy endings exist on the last page of a book. They do not expand into reality like an owl spreading its silent wings. The owl’s life ends after a new owl’s life begins. There is no true ending.
This is the truth. Make peace with it and find your future in the past. Time is not a start nor an end. It is millions of concentric circles that overlap and repeat in a never-ending artwork. Whether there is meaning in the artist’s intention is of no consequence. There is meaning found in every overlapping line. Meaning can be found at every point where two circles connect. Without these interacting shapes, the world would lose purpose.
