Driving himself to his execution Mortimer Hughs couldn't remember which way to turn onto Johnson Street. All he could think of was the red wing blackbird he had seen outside of his window that morning. There is no meaning attached to this. He felt his hand land on his knee, apparently it had fallen from the steering wheel, also without meaning or purpose.

I'm a Possibility-Being

What's most important in Being? Possibility. Possibility recognizes the contradiction of Being. The more-than-oneness of Being. Possibility separates, splits the coin, the heads and tails, of existence and holds them apart.

Without possibility I am trapped. Trapped in a singularity. Trapped in Truth. Gone is the mystery, the unknowing of the unknown. The ground becomes solid and life becomes a straight line from point. to. point.

Possibility is so important because it opens Being up to the may-be. Suddenly all is not known, the future cannot be mapped, and the course is splintered into an infinite directions. The past is dead because its possibilities have been eliminated by time, the past comes back to life in the different possibilities of how I look back upon it in the present and future.

Possibility breathes life into Being. Being gives life to possibility. Possibility creates contradiction, contradiction is the possibility of the possible. Being, possibility, contradiction, are all intertwined, and there are others too: mystery, contingency, time, and death.

Possibility, separating the coin, unlocking the door, setting free and in the possibility of choice binding us in permanence.
Possibility's contradiction is that it is freeing and the most binding.
