A story describing some of my life, motivation, fears and hopes.
Thanks Leo Finance for reading this as I understand this content may be more suited elsewhere however my motivation for learning more from this community is to be able place myself in a more resilient financial situation and do more of what I love. Writing about decentralized finance is something I would like to gain experience in I also would like to be able to write this in a style that reflects who I am and my experiences.
At the end I also have a Blockchain Video I filmed the other day. Blockchain and Eternal Life
Water can dance over river rapids, or freeze still over slow moving bends in the creek. I have splashed and cracked my way, venturing through both streams and icy water. The memories linger with me and rest like snow crystallising inside my soul.
Salty ocean bays call pelicans from afar to their waters to scoop out darting schools of fish, a delicious meal for a bird that travels the oceans with ease. I often retell my fishing stories to the kids around the dinner table--we would wade into the shallows, sliding our feet to push along the sting rays looking up at us, and grab a blue swimmer crab before it scuttle-swam into deeper sea beds.
Deep within I long to know more more of Life. It seems brief, taking us along for the ride through a bunch of solar spins then casting us out into the unknown place where many, in our quiet moments, approach with trembling. I know I tremble at the thought of the hereafter. Yet I also find peace in knowing that this life is like the water of the river and the tides, and I am carried along to where I do not know I am going. To write is to force myself to do what is uncomfortable, to live Life open-hearted and let go of fear. Fear of living and fear of passing.
I find religion tries to sum things up concisely, often falling far short of the mystery and wonder I see in both creation and Creator. In the carrying along as I am rushed along over the golden sandy river bed, I learn to lay back and look up at the sky that turns to stars, the autumn leaves fall into the water and the sense of trust I know is possible almost seems attainable. I hear a voice sing out to me, I hear the liquid laughing song along the shore--or is it from the earth or sky? It even seems to dwell in me, that music. I know how plainly naive it sounds, yet I believe in the Song, I believe in the Stream, and I am thankful I can be carried along.
I start to giggle in the the dancing of water, I start to hum a melody as the the tides bring new life, and then as the great sea birds scoop down to feed, I run along with my boyhood fishing gear and rejoin my loved ones beside the shore, beside the river, knowing more, loving more.
(I do not know what inner emotions or thoughts prompt me to write this yet in doing so I feel more alive than when I started.)
