Diary: Sunday Morn

[degringolade]

I have always found that mornings present no consistent face to me every time I wake up. I suppose that is normal, though there are people out there who claim to wake up the same way every morning, but I don't believe those people.

M. has me a thinking about the way that I think/perceive the world around me. He presents a compelling and logical description of the process. But depending on how I wake up that morning, the description oscillates in a fairly wide range.

I am working now on the idea that perhaps all persons aren't equal. This statement is anathema in today's America, but it seems to me that a persons innate abilities and deficits might have something to do with the thoughts and perceptions that filter into a brainpan.

Since I just started putting things together with this as a starting point, there are quite a few blind alleys I need to explore before I put an essay together. I worry that I might not like the direction that this thought-exercise will lead me.

The ideal of America is about equal rights, not about everyone being the same. It's about having equal opportunity and - while some folks don't agree - equal support so that we can each make the best of who we are. I am frequently saddened by the thought that folks who are struggling to survive are therefore not able to provide to the world whatever they are best set up for.

Of course we are all different, if nothing else but because we all have different experiences growing up, different genetics affecting and being affected by those experiences, and different backgrounds and cultures coming into the equation.

This is why diverse perspectives are necessary - it's impossible to know what one doesn't know, and it's often one's experiences that provide missing context.

I wish you to get as much enjoyment as possible from your thoughts and the creative process — especially since it’s so delightful on the threshold of autumn.
And I also wish you to find as much inspiration as possible in these days — it can be discovered in those everyday ‘little things’ we usually overlook, just like in the moment of awakening.
