Life is both subject and predicate… And so are we.
As subject we are our lives. As predicate, we define our lives by who we believe we are—filtered through our personal experiences and history.
We shape and fit ourselves into Universal Life, studying its past and future promise, as a measure of our own lives. Accordingly, we live our present and dream our future, as a living testament of reality—as we know it.
This is Essay.
Introduction
From the Four Directions, impressions come into our awareness. Depending on the vitality of the winds that carry them, they may or may not become rooted in our consciousness.
Those that sink a taproot into the soil of our perceptions become the drum talk of our realizations. Our truth that speaks first to us, and them, in turn, we speak it to others.
We drum out our sense of life and our place within it, into the world and universe – for better or worse.
This is my drum talk. May it not be empty in the fullness of ego or self-conceit. May it be a humble offering of life in its true flavor.
Carl Hitchens
