GO with THE FLOW
I think I will just ramble in my blog this morning. You ever have those times when you are deep in thought solving the weight of the world.. It is so cool because in our imaginary minds there is little we can't work out. Then we snap back to reality and face the problems of the day and under the breath say "what is the use". Two opposing parallels in one brain. One can handle and resolve everything and the other says life is what it is and just go with the flow.
It is the flow where I see the problem. Everyday in our media overloaded world our senses are diluted with all the negatives that they can round up. Sometimes they, the media that is, throws us a bone and interjects a positive heartwarming story. Not often though which creates a rather awkward yet real stimulation that the world and all the people in it are bad. Except ourselves of course.
Funny though in those perfect alone moments we have the ability to solve all the wonders of life. We can fix the government, gas prices, the economy, obesity, bad drivers (of which we aren't of course), etc. BUT THE ONE THING we can't seem to change are the mistakes of our past. The constant over the shoulder looking back to see who is looking back to see can drive you crazy. Those perfect moments of resolution are dampened by that thought of what happened a lifetime ago.
Back to reality? What the heck is reality. Is it all just a fantasy? I mean come on we live till we die so if we can just hang in there long enough nature will take care of everything. That approach to life surely works, no doubt, yet it produces very little magic and no spark. Look let's get up close and personal for a minute. Put everything down and pay attention. I rambled to this point just to get where I am.
You are who you are. You (me) have made all the mistakes. In the midst of those mistakes we judged and condemned all the people that made the same missteps in life we did. People are people we are not perfect, never will be. We have human tendencies that put our feet on wrong paths. At the end of life if we can put a percentage on all the sins each person committed I have a feeling we are all closer to alike than you could ever believe. Yes grandma and Aunt Susie were sinners, they had skeletons in the closet. They were human beings with real feelings and desires.
So should we just ignore our moral obligations and just GO WITH THE FLOW, join the ranks of the heathens and see how people live on the other side of the tracks. That is up to you however since the question is posed to me I say NEVER go with the flow. Cultivate the individuality that you were born with yet buried long ago by life circumstances. Only you can forgive the past, no one else. It starts with your desire to live again. People diagnosed with terminal illness fully understand this. They were dying all along but when the facts were presented with sudden urgency they woke up and decided life was worth living.
Your life is the most precious commodity you have. Jesus walked the lonely roads to visit those on the other side of the tracks. He dined with the heathens and was cast out for execution by the righteous. Do you get it? Do you REALLY get it? Jesus came for you. No matter what sins you committed or how bad you think you are he made a place at the banquet table just for you.
You see being you is not a bad thing. Sure life has dumped a barrel of hell on you and the tides are rising fast. The end is not near though because the breath is still in you. Your heart that God provided is beating which means there is hope abound. Stop being so critical of others, which by the way is exactly how the religious community treated Jesus.
I know you are reading my rambling thinking it is all pie in the sky jargon bull crap. You think I write simply because I enjoy writing. OK I do enjoy writing but I also enjoy helping people create a belief in themselves that transforms their lives into something that makes them dream again. We do not live to die, we live to live. Please do not allow your life to pass by while you live in a self imposed prison of shame. Take baby steps to get life back on track. This rambling really is all about you. I hope in my simple ragpicker hippie fashion that you can stir a smile today and say to yourself, I am worth it. Remember to love and forgive. Never forget to promote peace everywhere you go.
peace to you
