Thou Mayest
Today I was introduced to the concept of
Timshel
And although it is debated whether the word itself
Is actually a true Hebraic word
It has come to mean
"Thou shalt," as in
You must (do the thing)
You will (it is destined you will do the thing), or
You mayest (choose to do the thing)
It is a strange thing to be on this earth
To be here at all
How must we live our lives?
Dancing on the precipice of
The extraordinary gift it is to be alive
And the everyday banality of life
As the Buddha said
Life is suffering
And, as Cary Elwes further expanded
Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling you something
We must live
We will live
We may live
We choose
Life.
