Shaping what’s ahead

Cosmic Catalogue

History tends to demonstrate that humans aren’t too fond of change. Sure, we progress and adapt over time and with technology, but do we fundamentally change? Not much.

Rather than change and actively work towards a better future, we tend to dwell on the past. Make sure things are great again. The good ol’ days, they don’t make them how they used to. Remember when?

Then there are those who believe in anything and everything new because, according to them, they know better. The past has no future. They want to create a world without sin, but the catch is that they want you to obey.

This week, we reach a spectacularly dramatic tipping point, at which each of us as individuals must choose how we grapple with the past, present, and future.

Some may view learning from the past as dwelling on what’s gone, but in reality, it’s about preserving what truly matters.

When painful memories bubble up to the surface, confront them directly. Challenge them with resilience and determination. Then, move confidently in the direction of everything you’ve ever wanted. Goliath doesn’t appear unless you have David within you.

Short poles

It never felt like this before. My chest was in the right position and wasn’t getting bounced backward every few turns. My right shoulder wasn’t getting jammed into itself with every pole plant, forcing my torso up and my entire body to stretch out. That beautiful extension that forces me to then retract everything while…

A cut above

Only three people have ever cut my hair: There was the older gentleman that my mother brought me to when I was young. Then there was the son of my dad’s barber, who cut my hair for decades. And finally, there’s the guy I’ve been going to for the last several years. I especially liked…
