Right Now

The 'inconvenience' of a post or two ago has had a 'transformational' effect. Much has happened (as is true in anyone's life, when we can take notice) that would have been different had there been more 'technology' at my disposal more often. By the same token, a mentor disclosed that a personal 'handicap' makes this more of his daily life than not, and he's a fortune in one form or another to show for it. Habits (not previously recognized as such) had to be dropped and new ones adapted to 'survive', and I am yet again reminded of what there is to be grateful for and what is taken for granted.

Another of the latter's friends became of acquaintence who, for the first time I've met and been able to relate to from a 'like bloodline', also symbolic and ironic, as the path travelled now is very much about who we all are inside, how we identify it (or not), and what we do with it. We are who we say we are; indeed, another famous quote (the source name which now escapes me) said that the most important conversations we miss until it is often too late are the ones we do not have with ourselves. Just letting you know it's not my quotation, though one to be lived by, or at least pondered (I'm not one to 'suggest' my opinions are for all to adopt, I'm grateful for the ones who think I should, though equally so for the ones who question).

Speaking for those who cannot yet find that voice; we are all born entitled to all the world can possibly offer. The world we live in and how we learn to see it shapes our lives every single moment. Two or more can walk together and spend years or lifetimes in similar circles, living in different worlds.

A blind man can 'see' without eyes, the deaf can 'hear' without ears, as can we. What separates us is how we develop our senses and learn to seek 'validations'.

Today I pray for all of us that every day, every moment, in some small way, that we see something that wasn't there before, in a place we've been to many times; this is part of life, and why the children and other humans from 'unlikely' places in unexpected moments flutter in and out of our consciousness to whisper the differences, the beauty of possibility, and the nature of beauty itself.
