From the mind of critic: “If each day is a gift, who is the giver? Do we receive this present from some infallible and omnipotent power, who carefully strategized so our gift doesn’t ruin our neighbor’s gift? Did this power not plan at all, and instead used their cosmic sense of humor, finding it extremely funny to see us bumping into each other in conflict? Do we receive this gift from a human source whether it be friend, family or lover, through their actions and thoughts, which are completely devoid of our input because it’s deemed not necessary? Do we receive this gift from ourselves through our perceptive consciousness, by seeing beauty for beauty, light for light, dark for dark, and realizing we have the power to start anew at any moment of the day, whether the sun is rising or it’s late afternoon? We as humans have the ability to constantly rearrange, and reinvent ourselves to a constantly evolving and mutating environment. This can happen when we wake up, when we go to sleep, or any time in-between. Sometimes the overwhelming nature of seven billion people simultaneously figuring out their path and purpose, can make us forget it’s not a race to get what resources are available, but an interconnected web of humans trying to find their way home. Whether it’s getting back to nature, basics, or remembering everything we need to know we learned in kindergarten, when we get further away from what’s real, we get hung up on what’s not. We start to believe that since we can’t have it or are unable, that our neighbor shouldn’t either. Conflicts, wars and generational stumbling blocks grow out of this jealousy, but they don’t have to. They can be lessons which teach us where we went wrong, and what we can do differently. That possibility is only possible because each day is a gift, because each day we’re breathing and lucid, is a chance to better our collective relationship, so we don’t keep beating the same dead horse from now until eternity. It doesn’t matter where our new day comes from, but it’s up to us to take advantage. If each day is made up of moments, is each moment filled with infinite possibilities? We will only see the gift of each day, if we’ve allowed ourselves to receive. We give ourselves the gift of a new day, when we discover the uselessness of the old one.”
