Simplicity

That's the word that's on my mind tonight.

Everything simple is complex.

And everything complex is simple.

It's a tangled web, always twisting, always moving.

That is the way things are.

Emotions.

Hot and cold. Fire and ice. Love and hate.

The opposites of the world...attracting, rejecting,

Sticking to each other...then fading away.

How do we really know if we feel what we feel?

How do we ever know any truth at all?

Knowledge

Our power...and our downfall.

If it is both, then are we both cursed and saved?

Or, by being our power, is that how it became our downfall?

By becoming like the gods...by taking their knowledge...

We fell from grace, fell to this earth...our hell.

Our heaven?

What is Heaven? What is Hell? What is Earth, really, but a mixture?

A mixture that is imperfect...unstable...always in flex, flow, motion.

Always.

Always leaving, always saying hello...

We are always doing these things. And never questioning them.

Questions.

They run through my mind, night and day.

Leaving me on a hamster wheel, running endlessly,

Searching for an answer.

Looking for the key.

What key it is, I do not know. Do not ask me,

All I know is that it will solve my confusion.

Our confusion.

Confusion as to why the earth is as it is, why things are what they are

As they are

Do we know? Do we really know?

Of course not.

Because knowledge is power...the power of the gods...

The power of our eternal damnation. The power of our salvation.

Which hand shall you choose? Which fist hides my secret?

I don't know; I'll never tell.

I can't tell you. I can only look myself. Look and not find.

Looking.

Seeking.

Everything is boiling down to seeking.

Seeking for answers.

Seeking for the questions themselves.

Seeking for knowledge.

What seems so black and white is merely gray now...

And the gray separates to black and white.

Things become whole, fragmented, torn apart, broken..

Then...healed. Fixed again. Allowed to soar, to fly...to fall to earth once more.

Because we flew too close to the sun.

We once more regained our knowledge, our power...and fell.

Fell to the ground below.

Fell to fragment...to scatter...to question again.

To wonder.

We break things down with science...every smaller particle becomes even tinier.

Everything that was simple becomes complex.

And in its complexity lies...

Simplicity.

Everything that is simple is complex.

And everything that is complex is simple.

As it should be. As it has always been.

As it continues into the future.

Such is the way of the world...the way.

The way of complexity.

And...

Simplicity.
