L-O-V-E
Much has been happening lately - in the country, in the world, in all our lives, in my own. I am constantly hearing SO many different stories and perceptions and seeing situations from so many different angles that I keep thinking of what Charles Dickens (1812-1870) wrote in A Tale of Two Cities.
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way ..."
As in the 1800's, nothing much ever changes. One sees from wherever one stands and finds oneself in circumstance but even more in perception and in the mind. For some, it is the best of times, for some, it is the worst. I believe Life is SO utterly remarkable that way, in all of these different (and differing) points of view and ways of being. It's a beautiful, beautiful thing and I am so grateful for having been born to partake in it all.
It (Life) truly is the greatest blessing.
That being said, and without intent to minimize it at all, I do believe the physical experience of it - the being here, the being human - is like a "game" of sorts.
I believe we're so beautiful and innocent in spirit and so guilty and almost comical in our egotism. Nothing wrong with that at all. The ego plays its role and, besides, that's just how it occurs for me and not necessarily how it does for anyone else.
For me though, that's the very reason I just choose to focus on the big picture and on the bottomline and that's that LOVE is all that really matters.
Those hugs, those smiles, those glances we share, the conversations, the laughs, the movies, the songs, the dinners, all those moments - the time spent together with people & the LOVE shared - that is ALL that counts.
Everything else pales in comparison so I waste time not on any of it. Life is just too beautiful - and wayyyyyy too short - to do so.
All I care about, the only thing that truly matters to me and makes me happy to wake up, is that I LOVE ... you, me, family, friends, everyone, God, life.
In the end, I truly believe that (LOVE) is all my soul is sure to take with it so that's what I want to feel while I'm here in this body and with you: LOVE LOVE LOVE ... and more LOVE. :-)
Big hugs and kisses to you all.
Always,
