I understand now.

[phantasm]

Self-understanding is tougher than you think
You can go about living your life, oblivious to the rink
you've been skating around all your life
Even if you're on a path of self-discovery
We all have shit we need to recover from

Have you ever found out a pattern to your life that's been sabotaging your growth as a human being?
How is it we fall into patterns of being so easily? How might we look to someone who's all-seeing?

Claw into the ground, dig deep down, excavate a hole you can shine a flashlight into
There, you will see your shit dancing in the light,
Encrusted and decayed, broken down, barely recognizable,
Or as intact as the day it lodged itself in your soul



Life is a bitch, but she gives birth to understanding and wisdom.

As usual, Phantasm, you raise interesting questions. I kind of like what Alan Watts said about life, "It's one damn thing after another."

thank you.
