'pathways', olivier rasir, 2011


I find it fascinating palm readers say that our right hand reveals the life-paths we choose and our left shows the life that was written.

written by whom?

why is it we navigate our lives the way we do? why is it that a sibling can live a completely different life to you, yet came from the same beginnings? how interesting that a young person can walk out of a designated life on one side of the world, cross an ocean to a whole other way of doing things and create a new life and thrive in it.

to find answers we could plum the depths of philosophy, debate forever the existence of a souls journey, we could stand solidly behind 'science says' or punk-out and dismiss life as random chaos.

but it will remain a mystery for most of us - the illusive mystery of life - forever holding our attention - making our existence fascinating - every one of us on a different path with an individual experience. such a remarkable absorbing journey.

make time each day to reflect on yours.
