“I think there is a place where hopefulness and hopelessness co-exist, one of my beloved contradictory co-existing realities (what others call a paradox, but paradoxes can be mis-defined themselves, not owning their true contrari-ness and/or co-existence): something like joy-and-hope-in-the-process-of-being-and-becoming, something like awareness-of-distant-goals-without-attachment-to-getting-them, something like satisfaction-in-dissatisfaction. Like riding a roller coaster, being and feeling where it is and feeling where it's going all at the same time, since where it's going is part of where it is, and, whatever the now is, it will never stay there. Something like life.” — Shellen Lubin
I think there is a place where hopefulness and hopelessness co-exist,
one of my beloved contradictory co-existing realities
(what others call a paradox,
but paradoxes can be mis-defined themselves,
not owning their true contrari-ness and/or co-existence):
something like joy-and-hope-in-the-process-of-being-and-becoming,
something like awareness-of-distant-goals-without-attachment-to-getting-them, something like satisfaction-in-dissatisfaction.
Like riding a roller coaster,
being and feeling where it is and feeling where it's going
all at the same time,
since where it's going is part of where it is, and,
whatever the now is, it will never
stay there.
Something like life.
