Greetings all, and first up as always a huge thank you to Anna, Shilpa, Melanie, Dawn, Sue, Mary and Mel for reading/commenting/liking/sharing my latest post. I'm so glad that you found it interesting to read.
Well, as I dare to glance outside I see we have the joys of more of the grey stuff. The sunshine will come soon no doubt, but in between it gives us time to mull over things and have a bit of reflection.
Last night I had the pleasure of my fine little spiritual group and tonight I will host my bijou writers group. I've already an exercise to work roll out tonight and it also gives us a chance to read out our work. I must confess, my writing prowess has been more directed to the blog of late and I've enjoyed putting my thoughts out there. Also, I guess, when I'm no more than ashes and a faded memory these words will endure. Well, until one day when someone says, what's that old redundant toot sitting on the cloud. Time to disperse it all away.
It does make you think that we can echo here on the internet for a while. Who knows when it'll all be taken down and do these random thoughts transmit further than the humble web contained within this realm. Do those thoughts, rather like light waves, transmissions, float out further into space. Maybe a being from a distant planet is reading this message right now, perhaps 40 million light years away which of course means that this potential alien audience is reading something that is ancient history. No doubt humanity has long gone and who knows what state our planet will be in then or even if our solar system still exists.
You know, we really aren't here very long at all when you think about it. I look back at my current incarnation and mull over all the nuances and energy that created this human being. Many times I've meandered through this existence and contemplated where are you going? Truth is nowhere. It's an illusion for we all come from nowhere to return to nowhere, for nowhere is where we are all combined into one energy and isn't a place just an expression of this energy of one. So nowhere surely is everywhere, but I'll stop as this is giving me a headache already :D
I always imagined that when I was around 25, I'd be in a little cosy nuclear family, doing all the things we're supposed to but it never worked out like that. I was never particularly alluring when I was younger, definitely in the bookish looks rather than that of your alpha male. It used to bother me back then but now it really doesn't. Who defines what constitutes partners, etc? Why, our peers, media, ancestral history and so forth. It's easy to be brow beaten, succumbing to these false ideals which create the human psyche and leads to those emotions of anger, judgement, suspicion, disappointment and guilt. They are badges we are eager to dish out and even more willing to wear with some awkward sense of pride.
It's curious as I've stumbled into this spiritual world to see so many fall to these ancient traits. Now don't be thinking I'm all pious just because I've strayed into this place. Countless errors I've made in my own personal evolution but all I can say is I have changed immeasurably from the simian creature I was a few years ago. I'd like to think in a positive way but I guess, when the physical form expires and it comes to looking back at this existence, there'll be plenty of little foibles to examine. Still, as always, it comes to living right now in the present moment.
Right now, I'm typing out a blog post which is surprisingly longer than I had envisaged. I'm currently thinking of the state of mind of those who are reading this right now. Did they even make it this far into the paragraph or perhaps they scanned through and thought, hmm, can't really be bothered to listen to what that twit has to say. It's cool, I'm happy with self deprecation from time to time but also happy to acknowledge that some find my thoughts interesting and even helpful.
I guess I'd best bring things to a close. Let's just put this thought out there. Forgive yourself, be yourself and free yourself of others expectations. Maybe, just maybe, you can then be the beautiful soul you're meant to be and if you can't, well that's fine too, just do your best to be you.
Take care everyone and let's keep sending those love and hope to those who desperately need it right now.
