Use what crumbles

Maybe you're not here to build anything. The resources and foundations are already here. They were here when you arrived. You don't need to build anything, really. The real work to be done is not physical.

This existence isn't even well suited for building things. Building is tedious! It takes so long — years, maybe lifetimes. We have precious little time, and short lives.

You will have time enough to build to your standards of perfection. For now, focus on what cannot be done in a timeless dream. Imagine a virtual realm for instance. That's the domain for pure work for pure form.

You are here to live. To perform deeds. To enact the drama.

“I have cast fire upon the world, and look, I'm guarding it until it blazes.”

— Gospel of Thomas
