Greatness

Standard

We make the ascent to greatness through the necessity to move forward. Initiation of the mind is only the beginning to what will be the greatest days of our lives. The realisation that the present is something that is of such importance, would bind you to madness not to realise it. Dwindling that thought, letting it subside, erode away like a mountain cavity in the snow. Only to find that the mountain get’s taller and rises, rises around a fortified wall with guns and cannons only to realise your locked in. A cell has buried you. That is what will happen when your mind finds nothing great, nothing worthy. The wall gets taller as time; ticks; tocks.

Greatness comes at the cost of knowing greatness.

Ascension. Greatness does not find its medium in the acknowledgement of rising or falling. Slowly it embraces a path, manifesting in challenges and tasks that confront the basis of right and wrong. Subjective it cannot be. It is not given by man, by an animal that see’s greatness in acquisition, in materialistic things. Generalist is the previous statement. Not all follow a morality that is based on acquisition, some do not however live presently enough to know that they do. Sometimes greatness is earnt, like a tree. Fighting the calamities of weather and sun to produce truly, a gift. Fruit.

It is said in a book, in which we judge time, that ascension happened to a man. Flying through air, bird like. Tits were squawking amongst the tree’s, indisposed by survival. Plane’s ascend, we should not take greatness by the hands of literal ascension. Nor should it be thought of polarised in light and even less so by acquisition. Greatness is not in the blood, so you shall keep your title Magnus.

Whether something, someone or a place, noun, verb is said to be great, it is only in one encapsulated, primary and sole view or in many views. Greatness happens so often, for small parts of time, sometimes long, subtly merging itself during cold days and warm ones. Greatness is the present and I thank my ancestors for realising it.
