in FOCUS \\ November '22 \\ RETROSPECTIVE
“We pass through the present with our eyes blindfolded. We are permitted merely to sense and guess at what we are actually experiencing. Only later when the cloth is untied can we glance at the past and find out what we have experienced and what meaning it has.”
Milan Kundera
20 20 hindsight is the sought-after medicine of the uncertain soul, and it is the power that drives us all further. The past, however, can be both mesmerizing and entrapment.
The pride that comes with it is what informs the actions of our future, and the lessons of our mistakes help us navigate new conundrums.
Life is a weaving cloth, spread above fields and mountains, floating in the glistening sun, resting on the skins of oceans. A non-mechanical weave with threads pulled out here and there, small holes, entangled knots, the beauty of it all enhanced by such imperfections that are only made into defects by science. With two parents who lived at the edge of scientific certainty and unexplained humanity, I've learned to constantly question where these both sit and when they simply should not step on each other's feet.
That's where a retrospective lies still. Frozen ball of mishmashed life nicely shoved in a small cannon, ready to shoot out and punch another perfect whole in an imperfect world.
