sometimes, when you’re confronted with an important decision or you’re at some sort of crossroads, you find yourself looking for living metaphors. ‘if i catch this feather, it means that i’ll get the job.’ ‘if i take the long way, past the lake, it means i haven’t sold out.’ ’she loves me, she loves me not.’ and so forth. the thing to remember is that regardless of your performance in the little tests the universe is seemingly handing out, you still have to do something that relates directly to the problem at hand.
it’s nice in tv shows: we watch the character slowly unpack, and we know she’s going to tell her father the truth… even though the conversation in which she does so may not be shown. such story conventions have the potential to trick us into thinking that if the universe sees us making a silent decision of some sort, everyone and everything will magically acknowledge and respect it. but i think we have to radiate our own light, and make it real for ourselves, lest we slip from self awareness into self indulgence.
