“Pioneering”
I
say it to most folks I meet but now I need to write it down.
“We,
each of us, is always pioneering life ever minute of every day as we have never
been at this time and space before.”
Simple
isn’t it? Yet think about it.
We
have never been at this space and time before and thus in the next moments,
hours, days, weeks must pioneer our way through life.
Space. Honestly, I am not sure where we really are
but I am told we reside on small planet moving around a pretty typical star
which is in one of the spiral arms of a pretty typical spiral galaxy in a
universe of billions and billions of galaxies and although you may decide to
sit in the same spot on this earth for days or even weeks without moving, you
are in fact moving constantly into new space.
According
to the big brains, the universe started from what once was called “the big
bang” but which is now called, “the big expansion”. According to the brains, all of the universe was once all
compacted into this core the size of a grapefruit and then it suddenly began to
expand and everywhere expanded at once and continues to do so even to this
day. Since I have only been alive 59
years and the whole human race maybe 400,000 years, we have experienced hardly
nothing of space and thus do not know if all of space is uniform or has the
same properties everywhere. Why should
we assume that as our planet moves about our sun\star as it moves around the
center of our galaxy, which is moving as part of the big expansion that the new
space that is created or “we move into” has the same properties as the space we
just came from?
Certainly
“space” in the simplest terms means new situations and the concept of pioneering
our way through a new situation is obvious.
Time. Pioneering because we have never been here
at this space and time before.
Time. I am now older, this
moment, than I have ever been before and also you. Time seems to have one direction but the most important property
of time is that time = change.
So,
the whole point to my pioneering writing is that because time and space are
always changing, why should we think we should have all the answers to various
situations, which come up all the time?
For
example. How should one feel when a
loved one dies? Since at the death, we
the survivors, will never have been at the age we are now before and in the
situations or space we are now before either, how should we know how to feel or
act?
The
point being that we should accept that we have to figure everything out as we
go along as rules of the past more than likely will not work effectively in the
new space and time we find ourselves in.
Another example is the birth of the first grandchild. With no experience to guide as to reaction and what actions to take or not take, we find ourselves in a new space and time and have to feel our way along. Nothing wrong with feeling your way along and that is what I am trying rather unsuccessfully to convey. It is always new, every second of every minute of every hour and we should be open and knowing to the fact that we are always pioneering.
