There is a reason I am empathic. There is a reason I can communicate in written and oral forms. From parents who took transcription (from oral to written format) and technical writing (of owner’s manuals for complicated equipment). I can only translate my experiences – of what I see, hear and feel. And lend my thoughts for a better way, as I see it. As it occurs for me. Sometimes wacky and meaningless, but sometimes profound and inspired. Only human. Imperfect.
When we look back on our lives and how we have arrived at our present circumstance, sometimes there is clarity. Sometimes only hurt, resentment and confusion. When we look at our part in our present circumstance, the latter feelings seem to pass away. I am forced to look at my belief systems when I do this. I must embrace and reject my Christian heritage. For personal reasons. I am bound to embrace all religions and yet not lend my energy or commitment to any one sect or denomination of any religion, group or organization. This is only important as it applies to me.
What I am present to, is that we have to look at who we are, what we believe in and focus on that with all of our being. With all of our hearts. With all of our minds. With our bodies.
On the other hand, our beliefs don’t have to be inflicted on anyone else. This is an immensely personal thing. Regardless of what any one prophet or prophesy may have said.
We have the ability to change the future and shape the present. But we cannot change the past. We can only learn from the past and move forward with our lessons.
Be at peace with who you are, try and learn from your mistakes and stand up for justice. Peacefully and with great care and compassion.
As I write these words, I am clear that I did not set out to write them. Make your own interpretation of this and what it may imply, since I do not understand it. I just know I am an interpretor of what I see, hear and feel.
