That's the Way I Think It Should Be

Good Morning My Confidants

This growing up never stops does it?

At least, I think, that's the way I think it should be. These people who are so set in their ways that will not even entertain the idea of changing always hurts my heart just a little bit. But then I think to myself, they're afraid. And I can sympathize with that. Even empathize.

The world is changing faster and faster and faster and faster and faster. It can be terrifying. It can make you feel like you're in the midst of an earthquake. You're never even quite sure where to stand, even if they say it should be a doorway.

But you know doorways are away to go from one room to another, or one thought cycle to another, or one belief to another.

Doorways are symbols. In searching, it was suggested that they can represent transition, metamorphosis, beginnings and endings, the forbidden, and finally freedom.

That's a lot to think about, isn't it?

Goodness gracious, my morning ramblings!

Do you think they could be why I'm so tired lately? Because I've been going through so much mental and emotional and spiritual growth? That shit ain't easy.

(I still think I'm a wimp when it comes to one of my medications, escitalopram. It's 10MG, is that a lot, or is it baby stuff?)

So many things have me thinking thinking thinking, wondering wondering wondering, ah-hahing!, ah-hahing!, ah-hahing!

And I think if we all did a little bit more listening, true listening, and a whole lot more ah-hahing!, then 75% of the world's problems would be over.

Well, I can't change anybody else. And most of the time those who I think need to change aren't going to listen. Not true listening.

So instead, I'm just going to continue being the change I want to see in the world. And hopefully, if I change just a few ideas, it can make a difference.

Here's to making a difference!

Have a great day!

Namasté,
