Bend Reprise!

                                                                         

In our current state of affairs it is all to often that I find daily adult life reflecting that of  high school and the such. Perhaps I am being sensitive or not, it just seems that their is a lot of finger pointing and mean behavior just strewn about anymore.You can see it in politics, in its heightened anger and intolerance and (as I have shared with you before,) what I call fear disguised hate. The sad part is that although this hate, greatly composed of fear/ a derivative of misinformation & narrow minded views. This hate/fear is dangerous. In it contains infinite lies, half trues and misinformation.

However the good news is this can be changed with a lot of hard work and desire to change. You ask how can you change my views and my surroundings and all that I know to exist? Of course you can my friends and loyal readers, simply put it is only perception, perception that blocks or unlocks doors. For me it is hard to even try to grasp the idea (let alone desire) of wanting to pretend I know everything.

Life would lose its mystery and it's meaning, one could never again just bend in the wind, enjoying it's gentle caress or appreciating it's fierce wind. I want to feel the wind, I want to breathe it in, let it blow through my hair- fill my lungs! I want to always be open to learn, keeping that capacity open, no need to pretend my way is best way or her way is worse. Instead I appreciate that we are all unique and that I may have something to learn from you. Today may be your day to learn too, so stay open.

Currently many of us appear stuck in our own/old ways and our own 'belief' systems, belief systems we  can rarely even understand ourselves. Systems created even designated, by others. Do you even begin to pretend you know who you are(?) not me, not anymore. I will listen and I will hear you out, their is always room for the simple practice of underrated traits, traits such as understanding, patience and care. Understanding that we all have different stories, Patience in daily situations and with people you meet, and the care to be be present and aware of others. Be also aware your ideals or opinions are not golden, simply an idea you choose to follow at one point or another for one reason or another.

Suppose you 'don't relate' or you are 'against that' and then imagine how you shut yourself out of growing and learning, by experiencing our differences the true richness of life begins! A constant bidding is going on and its for your mind, a barrage of senseless stimulation needed just to keep entertained. Tune it out I ask you cos when the cell phone goes black who will be there for you? Who would even know unless one goes out to explore life, but please while you explore the valleys and mountains of life, be silent.  Listen and be cognizant, putting friends above phones realizing what is alternate to you may be standard for me & vice versa.
