UPDATE (2021): This was never a reference, at the time, to anything akin to "all lives matter." I was thinking at the time that this would help in issues of mental health, that a person who could read this would realize that they truly matter. I was also thinking that it may be a bit of soft evangelism (something that is no longer me either) and I regret that. This saying above has been stymied by a future context. Which is fine and which is why I have taken down most things that pertain to this 'movement.' Times change and it is important for people to grow and change. I want to make sure that I am heard unequivocally, BLACK and INDIGENOUS LIVES MATTER!
This blog is called “Everyone Matters” and it is found at a url that has “Carpe Aeternum” in it. What is up with that business? C’mon buddy, cap’, fellah, pal, explain yourself. Alright Internets, I will explain myself.
I was watching an episode of one of my favourite shows, “In Plain Sight.” There was a theme in the episode that simply put says everything matters. That struck me. It resonated with something deep inside my being. Everything matters… I chewed on it for months. I talked to Jesus about it. I read about it. Then I came to the conclusion that it was not so much that every-THING matters as much as every-ONE matters. Don’t get me wrong. I do think that the ‘small’ actions we make and take do pivot the ideas of humanity and can have a ripple effect we will never comprehend. The meat though is that people matter. PEOPLE MATTER. Each individual and every people group matters. You matter. You, Internets, you reading this post. You matter.
Carpe Aeternmum is Latin for ‘Seize Eternity.’ It is way cooler then Horace’s ‘Carpe Diem.’ I did not think it up. It was a good friend who, in talking with Jesus, came up with the idea. Read more here. I want to do this. I want to seize eternity. I want you to do it too because you matter. What does it mean to seize eternity? Well, that is the trick isn't it. That is the whole point of this blog. I am exploring what it means. Let's start a movement that seizes eternity because everyone matters... or has that one started?
