reflections from the funhouse

the very specifically worded question: "who is the most familiar human on the planet?"

came about one day after some gathered thoughts and observations needed some attention. point of view, perspective, wonder, question, curiosity, discovery - these things made the above question come together. i did not construct it except in the nurtured alteration of certain familiar or associative words that seemed to want more obsurity than what my knees jerked into place.

the question was "exhaust" and not an elaborate design. however, the question does provide self-reflection, something that i cherish and hope for people. providing a kind of mirror of where the mind is at.for me, the question above came about because of gathered thoughts having reinforced something i cannot help be aware of: that i am the most familiar human on the planet. to whom? to myself of course. it was and is the first thing that comes to mind when the question is asked. each of us have different answers to this question, none of which are incorrect or even necessary. since we are all so varied and separate we each hold our own answers and reality. and as living beings we are continual thus our answers become the steps for new questions.

the question remains relevant to each of us on an individual level.

we each decide what is.
