Evolution
One might think that the definition of Evolution would be straight forward, yet it is not.
To transform from a simple state of being to a more complex state is basically what I’ve gathered from its many interpretations and excepted definitions, I`ve found in researching this very word this morning.
From the Oxford Languages to Darwinism to Science and Philosophy an attempt is made to try and give us an understanding that can collectively be agreed upon.
If we look back through history those very definitions have evolved within themselves. Confusion, frustration, idealism and regulatory restrictions have all had their impact on how/what we think when we hear the word evolution.
What had me investigate this word this morning? It was my thought on what content I wanted to share with those who will stop by and read my Substack today.
Tomorrow will mark one month since the birth of One Soul`s Journey. She`s still my baby being nurtured and cared for. Brand new and vulnerable, tender yet demanding. Oxymoronic in its simplicity of complex thought.
A look back reveals my quick shares of creations established decades ago. Then slowly day by day I began to give the reader narrations into the processes of my life experience that drove me to expression.
I have removed the lock and cracked the door to allow the reader a peak into the vast array of my emotional self. From anger and despair to hope and love. Each piece is the genetic make-up of this soul’s evolution. Each contribution allows you in a little further.
Some of you will take a quick glance and immediately assume that the content inside has nothing of interest. Is it in your preconceived biases to the subject matter, that act as a deterrent to opening up another line of thought or experience in finding a commonality of feeling? Is it where you attach labels to the creator? Such as- “Too Godly” or “Boo Who, Feel Sorry for Me” or even “This is BS”. Within doing so are you not stifling, not only your own evolution of growth but also that of the creator?
We all have different tastes that speak to our essence of being and I can appreciate that consumption of some genres can give others an allergic reaction of hives and disgust or lack of enthusiasm in their general evolutionary path of exploration. But to me, it is when those “Peeking Toms/Susie’s” appear for their own gratification of derailment, instead of curiosity, they prohibit growth in our societal evolution.
I know of this derailment that I speak of. Many are/were the phrases hurled in my direction that caused me to veer off course or hide my reality as I`ve journeyed.
You try too hard to sound smart (nope just how I actually think- actual dialogue I have daily internally)
Why do use all those big words- nobody talks that way- (I do. It`s like spices, adding flavor to a conversation- my taste buds stimulated within words and their meanings - a paintbrush to metaphorically express a thought or experience)
Miss perfect- (nope not at all, I like you have that right to try and live my life to the best of my abilities, and where I fall short I the same as you the ability to wallow in self-contempt or stand up and try again) to Evolve👈🏼💥😉 🤔
I have allowed each of those statements to choke me into submission of being ordinary. To stay in the expected, to not grow into the beauty of what could be. Like the clouds that blot out the sunlight I`ve let my light dim.
Thirty days from now I hope that I have taken off that metaphoric door into my creative mind and I hope to find, that more of you, who just popped in decided to stay or become regular visitors in my evolutionary story as a writer, as a person and as a soul who`s purpose was to find and leave love on my journey back…HOME.
