moth
in darkness of night
over silhouette plains
i watch as the moths
orbit round the dim flames
as light dwindles
they remember those martyred
then in a swift vortex
their god has departed
In the bright of the day
I look up to the sky
I’ve done 23 laps of this flame.
The light’s as consistent
as the way people argue
the attraction cannot be explained

why
Why questions are difficult to answer. At times they seem ridiculous or impossible, like a riddle without an answer. However if you want a fighting chance of finding the answer, first you need to cast aside any worry that you won’t reach the solution. Worrying about not finding the answer doesn’t achieve anything, it just prevents you from finding the answer. It’s “as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.”
Only after you shift your focus away from the goal will you be able to reflect and focus, and have any hope of finding resolution.
Easier said than done.

Dad: …. “I was thinking of going for a walk”
Sparky: *twitches head, stays on bed*
Dad: …. “would you like to go for a walk?”
Sparky: *twitches head*
Dad: …. “what about going for a walk”
Sparky: *less interested*
Dad: …. “how about a perambulation”
the penny drops
Sparky: *leaps up and starts barking, full of enthusiasm*
