Attempting to give Shape, Form, Definition, and Clarity to Experience

It seems one of my own overarching themes is that of attempting to give shape, form, definition and clarity to experiences, especially the experience of the inner as it relates to the outer. There seems to be an underlying hope that by increasing awareness that there will be some kind of increased understanding of what the inner experience (as it relates to the outer) points to.

All of the inner hopes, dreams, desires...
The wants, the needs, the inner impulses, the fear...
The instinctual as it relates to an ever evolving outer world and how we each must cope with different drives involved, as well as the many needs involved, both our own and others... and the varying needs of each situation in the process we call living or life...
The forks in the road made by choices that do not have an easily reached compromise or solution that can easily fulfill the many inner needs and desires involved...
The many lives lived and un-lived based on each decision...
The many frames of mind that can alter our experience and what we are willing and unwilling to do...

Writing, music, and photography have been a few of the ways I have attempted to give form to my own experience... I have hopes of gaining a better understanding for myself, along with the hope that perhaps the forms I present will also help others gain a better understanding for themselves, so that they may feel heard and understood in a very indirect way. What understanding will lead to, I do not know, but it seems to be my ongoing quest... The very act of writing this entry is an inner impulse within me attempting to give shape, form, definition, and clarity... Somehow I find it fulfilling, which leads me to such questions as Why do we do what we do?... And the bigger question of Why do we live? What is living for? Why do we have such a strong desire to continue along this journey? Why are we willing to struggle and suffer so much to be a part of this whole process???

Perhaps there are some things that are too difficult to answer... But for those things that feel within my grasp, I will continue to attempt to give shape, form, definition, and hopefully clarity to what I come in contact with...
