" “I find the question “Why are we here?” typically human. I’d suggest “Are we here?” would be the more logical choice.” "
— Leonard Nimoy, American actor, film director, poet, musician and photographer, answering the question why we are here in The meaning of Life, LIFE Magazine, Dec 1988. (via amiquote)
Everyone is familiar with the "are we here yet?" question... usually asked by bored children who can't bare the thought of being inside a vehicle or such any longer when the destination is so anticipated.
Perhaps I am like that bored child of late asking "Are we there yet?" ... so I had to laugh when a quick glance through my tumblr archive this morning took my attention to this statement above from Leonard Nimoy.
I have to admit I've not been asking why am I here at all of late... that is not the mystery it once might have been for me... instead I'm truly preoccupied with the pending arrival at the new home rather than any of the big philosophical questions.
What I have done as the calendar is crossed off to this all important say is get increasingly interested in what I can create in the space ... colours to paint the walls... new pieces I have found and ideas gathered. Its organic this process... whether I want to think of it or not its just been preoccupying me so much and in a way allows for a less restless wait.
