IT frustrates me, at my age and for someone who often acts like he knows it all, to consider just how much more I have yet to learn and how little time (relatively speaking) I have left to figure things out… about a lot of things, but certainly about human nature and the complexities of our relationships with each other and with life itself. The ebb and flow of individual life experiences and perspectives make it difficult to grasp in a single thought the meaning of life, much less any certainty about the best way to live it. Complicating matters (for many of us) is having been raised in juxtaposing cultures — island sea-faring, warrior poets of the Mortlocks and old-south, Confederate good-ole-boys of Virgina for me. You really can’t script a juxtaposition of more complex proportions. What may be acceptable in one is not always correct in the other. It’s fair to say, being mixed up can be confusing, but there is hope in finding balance down the middle (on an even keel, if you will). There is an undertow of commonalities in nearly all cultures, but we sometimes need to wipe the fog off the lenses from our respective upbringing to see and appreciate them fully.
