The projection of the self into the future—not direction, but the promise of fulfillment used to escape the now.
Goal appears to offer orientation,
but structurally it is the displacement of meaning
into a later moment that negates the present.
A goal creates direction,
but also separation—
between what is
and what is imagined to be missing.
True movement needs no goal—
it follows not an end,
but what
flows through the now.
A goal is not direction—
it is the image
that appears when trust is missing.
