An Open Conversation with Alex in Tangier – Part II [Excerpt]

This is an excerpt from the CLUB Missive sent on October 11, 2022
Q: Why brighter? Can things always get brighter? Or brighter circumstances?

A: We tend to define life with absolutes; it’s what we so often find our peace of mind from. It’s what we try to model our existential purposes on. But for me, I don’t really see things that way… Light proves the existence of darkness as much as darkness proves the existence of light, therefore, there’s no need to fear the absence of absolutes nor is it necessary to flee its paradoxes. That’s what makes life an evolving flow of lights and colors; there’s no end to it, only new perspectives and discoveries. That’s what it means to rise up again; to let yourself be transformed by the motion of these unfolded pieces of the unknown, standing just a little closer to the light every time, and everything – including yourself – becomes brighter to your own eyes, more distinctively exposed to others as well, offering yourself and those around an emancipative opportunity to be known and to know others in return.
