If there is anything compelling about existence it is that while we can sit in certainty of the predictable, it is, at the edges, where predictions falter, that life holds some of its greatest challenges and greatest rewards.

The quest for certainty, for predictability, can be compelling – especially when we are in the midst of not knowing but wanting to.

Want a short answer about how to find your life purpose? Try this one out for size:

Be the bright and vibrant (or subtle) colour that you are now, because in all probability, it may all end in beige.

Too cryptic for you?

By all accounts if and when the energy contained in the universe peters out in universal heat death, what remains of it will just be something that is just inert, and, by some accounts, beige in colour.

Whether or not this is an accurate prediction is a matter I happily leave to theoretical physicists, cosmologists, and metaphysicians.

The poet in me knows that, despite the accuracy of the theory, there is an allegorical value in it all the same. It echoes something of the reality of life as I see it.

A lot has been said about relationship and compromise, that in order for a long term relationship to last that it requires compromise.

The question is, is compromise really necessary or healthy in a relationship of any sort? Certainly, in order to adapt there will be a need for balancing of needs, but how much is it healthy to compromise the truth that one is? If all parties are seekers of truth, both their own and the truth of the relationship, then where ever that leads, then surely, even if it is not always the most comfortable, perhaps it is the most right.
