Slaughterhouse-Five

When I read Slaughterhouse-Five in high school, it rung a loud chord for me. 

Sometimes, I also feel that I am unstuck in time.  

I can still remember when it hit me, in class. I remember the seat I was in, the light in the window, the spring time air. The revelation. 

I am still unstuck 

I am the product of the choices I have made. 

Sometimes I don’t know where those choices came from, but I know that they are right for me. 

I am unstuck in time 

I travel back and influence my own mind 

I continually remake myself and advance myself, doesn’t everyone else do the same? 

Am I that different? 

I see so much in the world, and so much significance 

The detail and the interrelationships 

Every person, and every event make me who I am, but it is I who filter those events and add significance to them. How I chose that significance comes  from a level of wisdom that I do not yet possess, it comes from some future me,  here to help me become the perfect being.
