Newly unearthed Handywisdoms

By “unearthed”, I mean I’m sifting through notebooks and miscellaneous papers that have accumulated in a small cardboard box in the corner. The wisdoms below were written around the edges of a staff memo, while sitting in an eighth-floor office where I processed auto loans — a data entry job — sometime around May 2003. I’ll even kick things off with an inspirational photo of the sky across my street after yesterday’s thunderstorm, so it’s like those cheezy new-agey feel-good posters — only more verbose and neo-quantum.
Every event has some relationship with every other event in the great family tree of things that happen everywhere.
Everything that happens is a member of a family and can be connected to everything else that happens.
Whenever you move something, you make something.
Every object that you have is a thing that is happening.
Every action you take is an object that exists.
What you’re doing right this second is probably not exactly what you think.
Everything that seems wasteful or irrelevant is actually necessary, but usually for reasons far more complex than you would guess.
All the things that bother you can be looked at in an entirely different way when you really think about how they are connected to everything you care about.
Whether there is a “master purpose” or “ultimate meaning” is irrelevant, because every event and every object is related to any purpose or meaning you could ever choose for yourself.
Funnily enough, I actually kind of believe all this, or at least believe that there are benefits to looking at life this way — and just think, it predates all that “Secret” and “What the Bleep” stuff! As I recall, it actually made me feel better about trudging through auto loan applications that day as well.
