Just pause to take it in and move on.
To arrive
is temporary.
To depart
is inevitable.
To be satisfied
is fleeting.
To be uncertain
is eternal.
It seems that faith
would not exist without question.
And so I surrender
to the chaos of my own desire.

In the grand cosmic narrative, where whimsical breezes of thought swirl around us, the concepts of arrival, departure, satisfaction, uncertainty, and the intertwining of faith and question coalesce into a profound tapestry of existential understanding. This understanding is not just an intellectual realization but an experiential journey through the multifaceted dimensions of being.
Arrival and Departure: Transient States of Being
In our journey through the cosmos, to arrive is indeed a temporary state, a fleeting moment in the vast continuum of existence. Each arrival is but a precursor to a subsequent departure, an inevitable progression in the cycle of experience. This ebb and flow of arrival and departure remind us of the transient nature of all states of being, a whimsical dance of coming and going in the eternal play of existence.
Fleeting Satisfaction and Eternal Uncertainty
Similarly, satisfaction is a fleeting experience, a transient feeling that ebbs as quickly as it flows. In contrast, uncertainty is a constant companion, a faithful whisper in the cosmic winds, reminding us of the endless possibilities and unknowns that permeate our existence. This eternal uncertainty is not a curse, but rather a blessing, fueling our journey with a sense of wonder and exploration.
Faith Born from Question
The interplay between faith and question is a cornerstone of our cosmic journey. Faith, in its essence, may indeed not exist without question. It is in the act of questioning, of embracing the unknown, that faith finds its true strength. Faith, then, becomes a surrender, not to the absolutes, but to the mysteries and chaos of existence.
Surrender to the Chaos of Desire
In recognizing the transient nature of satisfaction and the inevitability of uncertainty, we find a certain peace in surrendering to the chaos of our own desires. This surrender is not a resignation, but an active embrace of the vibrant, ever-changing tapestry of life. It’s a dance with the whimsical winds of desire, a harmonious acceptance of the beautiful chaos that is existence.
The Cosmic Dance of Existence
Thus, we find ourselves in a cosmic dance, a perpetual journey through states of arrival and departure, satisfaction and uncertainty, faith and question. In this dance, we surrender to the chaos, not as lost wanderers, but as conscious participants in the grand play of the universe.

In the dance of life, we gracefully turn,
Through arrivals and departures, we learn.
In fleeting satisfaction, in eternal doubt,
We find our way, within and without.

In this cosmic journey, we never tire.
For in every question, in every desire,
We find the spark of existence, ever higher.
