From the mind of critic: “If we’re up a creek without a paddle, are we forced to go whichever way the current takes us? Do we use our hands, legs and anything else we can to paddle against the current? Do we let go and let the current take us, knowing the key to survival and success is adaption and self-esteem? If we’re lucky enough to have a paddle, will we get turned around easily because we only have one? Does the material and/or manufacturer determine how fast, slow or controlled we move? Whether we have a paddle or not, do we move through the river better, moving with or against the current? Life can be a fickle beast, immediately changing it’s speed and forcefulness the moment we have it figured out. What we learn through experience, is that it doesn’t matter how we move forward, just that we move forward. We either create our paddle, or we procure one, niether way is necessarily better than the other, specifically because of our intent. Going against the current or with it, doesn’t guarantee success, but if we stay conscious we’ll see much effort needs to be exerted, and increase our chances of success and fulfillment if we don’t give up. Life will steal our paddle from time to time, we evolve when we realize we have the ability to create a new one anytime we want.” 🙂
