Quote of the Day
Filed under Curiosities + Soul
Ever since those early days of the water wars human beings have been trying to figure out what makes one thing one thing and another thing another thing. In very general terms, there have always been some people who are more comfortable with Being and some people who are more comfortable with Becoming. The Being people get excited about how identity remains stable, how a chair is always a chair, a table always a table. The Becoming people are fascinated by the gray areas, the things you can’t quite categorize, the fleeting, the indefinite.

Being and Becoming. Evaluate this: I think a chair is always a chair but wonder how did it get thair.

I don’t like simple answers, so I like the gray areas, except the ones that are starting to creep into my hairline. Could it be that all the old, stale beliefs I have let go of are graying me? I prefer to think I am becoming a more subtle, oaky, full bodied, aged Cabernet Sauvignon, with undeniable hints of fruitiness I suppose.
