No One Knows

I know facts. I can tell you that Spielberg directed Jaws. I can tell you that there are 5280 feet in a mile. I can even tell you that John Elway was originally going to play baseball.

Those facts dont mean anything to me except leading me to 25 bucks at a chain restaurant. (on a good night)

I have realized that the only thing I am 100% bullseye sure about is that I dont know any of the answers to the questions that are always asked. I'm not alone in this. Many people think they know the answers, but that's either a lie or a dream. (are they the same thing?) Our lives are fluid, and fluidity calls for improvisation and adaptation. In English, I was taught that concrete nouns were words that you could perceive with at least one of your 5 senses. Love, freedom,hate,truth, and power arent concrete nouns. When we view those as concrete ideas (things that are consistent and definite), the literal meaning of "concrete" becomes apparent. It becomes heavy, cumbersome, and ultimately immoveable.

From now on, I lose the concrete.

From now on, I float.
