📝 Flowing Forwards

Dear Greats,

We all look upon the same moon, rather the same moon looks upon us.

A companion, a steadfast friend. One that passes no judgement and remains an immovable presence in moments of solitude.

Sat on a train as I write this memo, thinking of the souls that sit behind the numbers I see on my screen. Souls with hopes and dreams and struggles and pains, moving towards a desired future.

You’ll get there eventually - at least ever closer to ‘there’ - wherever ‘there’ is.

Does it matter if you don’t? We all know it is about the journey not the destination. 

Yet journeys are best with destinations in mind, the goal keeps us moving, without it we stagnate. We all know what becomes of stagnant water… Disease ridden, poison to itself, killing most of what touches it.

So we must flow, towards the future, ‘a’ future, it’s waiting somewhere.

Perhaps we shouldn’t be so eager to attain it.

For most, our desires reside in the future. Those who desire the present and only the present, congratulations, you have reached a state of constant climax! You are enlightened beyond comprehension and have achieved nirvana. 🤝

Most however, look to the future _{(a time that exists closer to our demise)}, naturally we wish to attain our desire before our demise, as we cannot achieve it after! So we rush! We run! For we must reach there sooner, as then we will be complete? _{At last.}

We all know where this is going… Straight back to the present.

Desires can be good, it allows us to flow forwards; let us be glad that we flow forwards, let us need no more nor less than that. A happy medium between love of the present and movement towards a better future.

Most things are transient, you are not one of them, at least not to yourself. You are constant. Affirm yourself and be grateful for the present whilst desiring a future that allows you to flow towards it.

Your deepest well-wisher,

— ZYLO
Be Empowered.
