To, being a jack of all & a master of none!

An ever so famous, not so stringently used figure of speech- 
Jack of all trades and master of none. 
Decoding to- a person who can do many different types of work but who is not necessarily very competent at any of them. 

But here is what I feel. 

To know and brush upon a little bit of everything, is what a lifetime presents for one to grasp. Why restrict to a specific, when unfenced vagueness leads you to a spectrum of entirety? 

I read an anecdote which goes something like this- 
If you have a favorite restaurant and constantly visit the same restaurant just because it is your favorite;You will never know what other choices are available and what could be your new favorite. 

Likewise, if we master one particular thing and stick to it, just because we have mastered it. Doesn't it end there? Doesn't it stamp an end to every other possibility? 

Being a jack of all trades means exploring anew. Shedding down the comfort and embracing vulnerability. Invariably, in vulnerability lies delicate brilliance. Like a chameleon. To be this and that and yet experience each specific in its lightness and depth. Vague and nebulous is indeed the spark of everything, not an extinguish. 

To experience and know as much as possible, as far and near as possible, as vast and little as possible, as high and low as possible, as light and dark as possible within a lifetime of uncertainty is the measure of 'now' ticking inevitably. 


My little bit of everything, today. 

To, being a chameleon of art. 
To, a little bit of everything. 
To, craving of experience in life.
To, satiate the now.
To, merging into a rainbow rather than existing a bright white.

To, being a jack of all and a master of none. :)

Surprisingly, early, this time.
