STRANGE BREW
STRANGE BREW
~experiencing Self/self in strange worlds
When studying the monkey's world, are you able to think and reason as a monkey, or do you value and judge everything according to your human sensibilities? You can approximate the mind of the monkey, as determined by your human self, but you will never be able to entirely grasp monkey-mind.
This is true as you examine a world of your opposites, and those juxtaposed to your own life conditions. While you may employ your self with intelligence and compassion, the nuance of such a different life will keep you outside its central tenets and core beliefs.
The Strange Brew of unfamiliar concoctions and decoctions go deeper than the physical cells of the monkey, which are designed for certain tasks, stories of creation, and projections of ability unique to the species . . . just as yours are unique. You are lacking the predominant chemical and structural features that reflect a strange community's vibration.
Whether comparing day-people to night-people, religious to non-religious, or one gender to another, recognize that much must be taken on faith, often neglecting the nuance entirely. You can try walking in another person's shoes, but really, you can only try on their ideas. The Strange Brew of their beliefs and cosmology will at a cellular level, lock you out.
This is the gift of Life: many notes making many Songs; many threads making many tapestries. When you encounter a Strange Brew, sup with it a moment, indulge the reckless, mysterious shadow worlds that are tangent to your own, adding their flavors. Life does not progress in a straight line. It requires many beautiful detours.
Leave the path from time to time, pressing your feet into the grass. Somewhere out there, you and your world are the Strange Brew. Can you imagine?
Blessed Be This Day
