The Triptych

‘Thru layers of awareness’, it is said, ‘we live two lives.’ The life we live before we become aware that we’ve only one life, and then the life after. I’ve added a third...

~In youth, awareness begins as to how we look; physical beauty, or the lack thereof. We equate beauty in how we feel we appear, and in how we feel others appear to us. This bears our greatest compass into adulthood, our original awakening. ‘To Look.’ ‘To be Looked at.’ ‘The learned art of primal judgment.’

~Thru age must come an acceptance. ‘To Look’ must now become ‘To See.’ To know the Value of self in being, not in appearing. Physical beauty must fade from our body and our judgment. Replaced with knowledge; of our-self and of ourself toward others. For in that we age, we must come to grow. ‘We Seek.’ ‘We Receive.’ ‘Then must come to Understand.’

~With death, the apparition of, our being then bears thru others. We, at this point, become only the scepter of what we’ve done, and the influence we’ve bestowed. Our Image becomes a mere feeling; a being of no living flesh, rather only existing with how we had existed before. This apparition will hold only the same beauty as the body’s Spirit before it. Only the same beauty that other’s beheld in it. ‘who we were then,’ ‘who we are now,’ ‘the Being we will become for others in our death.’
