The Conscious Crow: Seeing…is knowing…is

For centuries mankind has become a great topic of conversation and study.  With every new decade we find a more advanced version of the “modern” day female and male.  Our understanding of the universe today surpasses what we thought we knew yesterday.  We radiate change with every passing moment; the more we see the more we know, and the more we know the further we grow.  Bit by bit our knowledge expands.  We adapt to the world by learning how to innovate our current mode of existence at the time, and gaining a fresh perspective thereafter.  Despite the amounts of research we rapidly accumulate we are still asking the very same questions we did in the beginning; What is the world that we live in and what is the nature of our being?

We are more skillful and wise in our approaches to these questions, and although our intentions have evolved in a more complex way, we are still relatively clueless on the matter.  Jack Johnson sings about this concept and how “We’re breaking and rebuilding and we’re growing, always guessing… We’re just moments, we’re clever but we’re clueless we’re just human… just a bubble in a boiling pot just one breath in a chain of thought… the truth is, all we got is questions..”

There is this vast sea of mystery that we float upon.  Just when we think we’ve reached new levels of awareness there is a lingering unknown following us into the new era like a familiar shadow bathing us in questions.  Regardless of the angle to our introspection and speculations- we find ourselves repeatedly in awe and incapable of truly defining these big questions; the majesty of how everything actually exists, how we endure, how we can create and carry life and, how we are still here after all these years.  There are some things we can understand within reason, acutely discerning through our mental faculties and studies, and some that linger within a mysterious and elusive force, ever so steadily turning us to face the questions and fascinations of existence, and urging us into the eternal quest for answers.
