Endless.

By Niklas S. Osterman

His days fold into one another like an endless accordion of time.

Each a mirror of its predecessor, rendering a sense of familiarity.

The routine of existence,

Do not resist it.

The labyrinth of life is not a foe to be defeated but the illusion in which we exist. Understand this rhythm, this peculiar flow of time as it circles back onto itself.

Always returning to where it began.

Existence possesses a strange comfort in its predictability. Its a relentless ceaseless cycle.

But is not an adventurous life.

Routine carries with it an undeniable symmetry but confusion simmers beneath the surface.

Each day, almost identical but never the same, carries within it a unique mystery, a new paradox to unfurl.

The peculiarities of life, can be likened to a dream, perhaps even a sequence of dreams, varying in their intensity and lucidity.

As in a dream, the days can slip away from us, leaving us grasping at their slippery edges, needing to recall something that was never quite ours.

And so, we live on, lost in the maze of chaos and order..

Bewitched by the dream that is life

Waiting for an awakening that may never come.

Within this labyrinth, within this dream lies a beauty in the confusion, a comfort in the familiarity, a solace in the eternal cycle of sameness and change.

We go on.
