Me, a molecule?

This particular grouping of molecules and atoms, this consciousness that is known as me, this spirit that is, me, that is the essence of me, wants experience with life on planet Earth. Through many times and spaces, trials and errors, I, the spirit of me, have been able to see, feel, hear, taste and smell the love that has produced this exquisite Orb in the vast beauty of the Universe.  And the me, that is I, has learned and learned many things, come through all the elements just to be here in this primitive, yet, expanding society, just to be part of the evolution of the mind, body and spirit, just to know what it is to be in human form.  Though there are very few memories, I know, with a smile, as I look into the ethers, that I, the me that I am, have been on an adventure of such magnitude it is unexplainable, at least in the human form, I have taken.  I, as me, can only marvel at the resilience of the spirit who picks the marvelous, yet, sometimes torturous and grueling University of this life on planet Earth. I, who is me, knows how hard the study of Earth life is and, yet, also how fun and rewarding, how interesting and exciting and then, how crushing it can be. But of the many spirits that I, as me, know are here, there are a significantly less number of those who just cannot make it. The human spirit is stronger than the many, many elements they go through. If they only knew how strong they really are, but some beings, cannot seem to keep up the task at hand. At the same moment, that one being is overcome, a dozen others are coming over or through the trials and errors. And all of this of their own choosing! A board game being played out to see who can take what they themselves dish out to themselves! Rewarding themselves with fun and periods of ease. The only winners, themselves, their spirits intact and functioning with love for “all that is”. I, as me, my spirit intact and functioning with love for “all that is” and all that I am, as me, looks with a smile into the ethers, knowing it’s a magnificent game with myself, a wonderful bicycle ride and I, as myself, is staying aloft and enjoying this cosmic ride!!

"I'm thriving, how are you?"

"I am thriving, how are you?" I think this is a great answer to the question I might be asked, "How are you?" Not "fine" which is a non-expressive word and tells you or me nothing--something to be used only in reference to how I want my coffee beans ground, or my flour or how I want my silk or even how frogs hairs are. It says nothing about how I am doing and is an escape word used by myself if I don't want to tell someone how I really am feeling or how my life really is or how I feel after falling off my bike. It is used to placate others, so they won't be worried about me, or fuss over me, when what I really want to say is, "my elbow is hurt" or "what you said to me hurt", or "it's a really shitty day!" So instead of saying "I'm fine" which can be an acronym for "fucked up, insecure neurotic and emotional", "I'm thriving, thank you, and how are you?"

Standing in Understanding

I am still amazed every day at the beauty in this Universe, on this planet and the fact that I am aware of it and that there are others who are also. I explore this thought, it seems a lot, in wonderment and why I am so awestruck by this incredible beauty! But then I am awestruck by any beauty and so are a lot of people—seems to be a trait inborn in humans? At any point, it is soul food that I eat with my senses—my eyes, my ears, m tongue, my fingertips and hands. It is, to me, as important as food that feeds my physicality. Then there is the difference between what I see as beauty and what others see, but then perhaps it is like everyone stands in a different spot on this Earth and so sees life from another angle or perspective. And if we were to put all the angles and perspectives together, would it form a bigger picture? Can I, with my angles and perspectives, actually expand them in order to encompass all the different outlooks, or inlooks? At any point, I can only say what I see from my position, n’est pas? However, if I move to a different spot to stand in, I will see another degree of the 360 degrees there supposedly are in this world. This is what understanding—complete and true understanding is, human understanding of another’s perspective or angle or degree. The view or scenery they see from where they stand or sit or lie. Not necessarily agreeing with the conclusion drawn from what is seen or understood by the other, but understanding where they are comjng from--261 degrees? We all cannot physically, in our physical senses, stand in exactly the same spot as another, but we can understand simply that they are in a different spot or degree of latitude and longitude. In fact with that said, there must be 6 billion degrees of difference, rather than the paltry 360 degrees “they” say there are! However, in my efforts to bring about world peace, harmony and love, I must remember to stand in understanding with where another is standing and work on seeing what they see and why they have a different understanding than I. The acceptance comes from standing under what they see, knowing I can comingle all my perspectives with those of others and perhaps we can all at once, stand in awe and understanding and truly see the bigger picture together.
