Random thoughts from the journey so far

“This too will pass”

An ancient saying that helps with seasickness and hours of sailing as a passenger in the dark and rolling Baltic Sea.

After this journey lasting over a few days and nights I’m thinking about things with a different focus, things like peeing, pooing and vomiting. But also more abstract things like space to move about, to sleep to make food…

We (humans) don’t own things anymore than they own us. This goes for ideas and concepts as well as objects. This level of thing-ness is appealing to my current mindset.

We borrow from the planet and owe a debt for this loan. Life is in this sense a transaction. A continuous flow of materials and energies across space and time. Of course the planet also must benefit from our existence too. Are humans perhaps permitted some interest on their investment? 

I wonder what the balance in my account?
