Searching for the light can lead one astray

Lately, every day has been a search for insight. Let me tell you, such a daily search is quite tiresome and, at times, completely ennervating. It’s as if my flesh and bones, my body mass, is being depleted of what makes one whole. Searching for the light can lead one astray. Searching for the light can lead one down into a bogged-down mirage when all wants is an oasis.

My search for insight has been driven by some unexpected drastic life changes. One could even call them catastrophic. But at this point, I don’t know if I really understand what is considered insight. Insight into what? There’s no magic formula for life. There is no shortcut to the right path. Or a right path. But maybe there is a cliff notes version? Ir a Dora the Explorer map?

There also may not be any more insight to be had. Sometimes things are just what they are.

  1. It is what it is. Not what we want it to be and for the most part, wanting won’t change it.
    I have given up on the search for enlightenment and will settle for a sustainable comfortable fantasy.
