5

from a certain point on,
there is no more turning back.
That is the point that must be reached.

what is that certain point? where is the certain point? Is it temporal? Or is it spatial? More or less? is this point measurable. How can I reach when I cannot determine that point? Certain point: a certain deterministic point? Certain point: an indeterminable entity that cannot be clearly identified?

I am sure there is a better way to discuss this apart from engaging it as a discussion, which may already sound flippant in its approach. But there is within it an aporia that I cannot follow.

How do I know where and when this certain point will be and if I do arrive at this destination, how will I even know it is that point? And from there, where do I go next?

But it is imperative; as if that has always been how it should be. It must be reached.
is this point a little dot or a long duration?

maybe that is the point of its existence: sticking out like a sore thumb; a thorn in the flesh and we fumble to define it in an axis of metaphors - vertical/horizontal, forward/backward; but really we are suspended and will soon reach that point which is really to die suddenly in a with the knowledge of this inevitable ending.

And yet this readymade symbols are what makes this point worthwhile.
we are always already ahead to be able to turn back, which if we did so would only be a return to a frontal perspective, another moving forward in time.

don't we trip and fall so often? quivering and shivering, trembling in the cold night, facing the storm and standing still under a waterfall, when terrible witches imaginations are manifested first thing in the morning, and we burned them with fire and hay.
there must be a point to be reached.
someone will somehow bury them.

the glowing moon is the child that revolves around a supposed centre, who swore never to be outside.
but the tie between the two is inseparable, without an outside/inside perspective - it will always be outside of something and inside something else simultaneously.

is this a form of nihilism?
perhaps, but there is no beyond unless a certain point is reached.
but really,

it is between reaching and not reaching, suspended.

From... - already in
...must be reached - not there yet.

will find, some resolution, that is the certain point I must reach.
