In the beginning there was love




When mom blew out the light it suddenly became dark in the room and the child asked spontaneously: where did it go? Who can answer that? Why does it lie within our nature to ask questions?

Maybe it is more secure to avoid, to go out of the way, instead of to face and to explore. On the other hand we develop knowledge through exploring and studying that makes it possible for us to controll aspekts of reality that scare us, or to avoid them.

Fear is a big factor, but so is curiosity. Greatest is love, is what is said, and that is surely true, since love is in one way or another involved with the original cause, with our comming into beeing in this world.
Now that we are here: what do we do with this truth? (We could always pretend not to be here, but that will never be more than a superficial lie and will fast become boring, should we insist.)

So we are here, caused by an original love that drives us to grow, get to know the world and reality, and that makes us curious and open. At the same time we feel fear that drives us to controll and to close ourselves. We hide and construct powerplays, manipulation, pretend we are entitled to exclusivity.

Where did the light go?

If the unknown knocks at the door, who will dare to open it?
