... an unwilling adventurer into chaos and sunlight, into the dreams of the living and the dead.
(from: Ben Okri: The Famished Road)
given the fact of the immortality of spirits, could these be the reason why i wanted to be born - these paradoxes of things, the eternal changes, the riddle of living while one is alive, the mytery of being, of births within births, death within births, births within dying, the challenge of giving birth to one's true self, to one's new spirit, till the conditions are right for the new immutable star within one's universe to come into existence; the challenge to grow and learn and love, to master one's self; the possibilities of a new pact with one's spirit; the probability that no injustice lasts for ever, no love ever dies, that no light is ever really extinguished, that no true road is ever complete, that no way is ever definitive, no truth ever final, and that there are never really any beginnings or endings? it may be that, in the land of origins, when many of us were birds, even all these reasons had nothing to do with why i wanted to live.
anything is possible, one way or the other. there are many riddles amongst us that neither the living nor the dead can answer.
