Heroes Not Zombies

The sea isn’t a “thing”. The water isn’t a “thing “. A wave isn’t a “thing”.

We talk as if we and the world we live in are objects, “things”, entities with clearly defined boundaries. Fixed. Or changing only through a sequence of discrete steps and stages.

But none of that is true. You, me, everyone else and all that exists in this world are constant flows of energy and information.

All that exists is a constantly changing flow responding, adapting and interacting with all that exists.

Nothing exists in isolation.

Nothing is fixed.

“Things” are a delusion. Or, at best, a partial appreciation of a small aspect of the greater “all that is”.

I feel very aware of that when I stand at the water’s edge gazing out towards the horizon, breathing in time with each breaking wave.
