Continuing to Learn
Do we ever really reach a saturation point of knowledge, where we feel we've amassed TOO MUCH knowledge, but there's a certain pleasure in simplicity that has been lost? The information has merely been skimmed, and not really allowed to sink in and be experienced?
I must pace myself and allow life to wash over me. There's more pain but also more pleasure to tread. I just want to continue to evolve into the beautiful, dynamic human being I'm capable of, and not regress, into old negativity and insecurities. I feel like I'm TOO AWARE at times. I don't want to go back to being that ignorant kid I was again; I like the age and level of sophistication I've acquired now. But there is bliss, and pleasure, in ignorance, so a part of me wants to go back and not THINK, just ACT on impulse, even if those impulses are not the right or healthy ones. Just need a new direction, I suppose, perhaps a deeper, simpler, more grass-roots, more tribal direction...not a grander direction, but a new one. Time to become Amish?
