Still getting used to blogging...hahaha. But here we are just a few days away from a "new" year, if you're counting. I happened to catch the Kennedy Center Honors tonight on TV. While I feel all of the honorees are marvelous at their crafts, whom I've admired for their artistry, and who seem like really decent people, I find myself struck by the thought of how many people live their lives never to receive any honors, medals, applause, or even acknowledgment. I mean, I'm really struck by that. It's not like I haven't thought about it before, but for some reason tonight it's just hitting me with such a profound sense of compassion and appreciation for all of the souls who have passed through this world, seemingly unknown to the world, without which paradoxically there would be no world...
So tonight, whether anyone reads this or not, I give notice and honor to all of the souls who live each day, doing the best that they know how at any given moment. I wish you peace and grace with the hopes that your spirit be filled with that perfect, all-inclusive, illuminating light of love and not with sadness or fear. You indeed matter.

I love the somewhat indescribable power surge you get after making it through something really challenging, you know, a transformational experience where you kept refusing to do the same ol' same ol' and tried a more enlightened approach to something. It's like upgrading your wiring from 110 to 220. Same basic structure but now can handle way more voltage. Can't even describe exactly the time that it happened...just one day I woke up, felt it, no...just knew it, and said, "Aaah. I get it now. I did it. I'm stronger." And what's really interesting is that the greater strength comes with greater calmness...huge calm, not just a little bit. No denying that you're gonna run into chaos, but just a gentle acceptance that when you do, you can handle it.
December already?!!
Wow, time's flyin' right into that lovely season where all of the advertising tells us what the perfect holiday looks like, right? Not so much, I think. How many of us fall outside of that perfect married couple with kids on Christmas morning image that's all over the media? I can't understand why advertisers don't take advantage of the number of people that aren't included in that picture. There are just so many of us! Even if contemplating the all-inclusive nature of love concept of the holidays is something you're not into, there's money to be made off those of us Singletons who might buy ourselves or our friends a holiday treat or two. Can't believe retailers are overlooking this untapped market hahaha (or maybe hohoho would be more appropriate). Just a thought after a long week... |
