Bear with me…
I have a theory about “perspective” and that is, I believe, we ought to be continually exposing ourselves to different ideas outside our scope. The way I’m exposed to different perspectives that works best for me is one that’s offered rather than forced on me. A true expression of take it or leave it without attachment.
I believe that, very often, when we choose an attempt at articulating and communicating our journey, we provide words for what others in our sphere may be feeling but not have the words to say.
Sharing also has a high likeliness to reduce shame. (We can feel that we aren’t alone in our issues or walk in this life.)
I recognize that on a certain level of this human experience we have differences and that those differences have meaning in society. Differences that have significant impact on fairness, access to power, yada yada and this isn’t what I’m talking about.
I’m going to take a risk here…
On another stratus our walk is the same…all of us. There are differences that do have meaning. But it’s only on a certain stratus. I tire of living in that stratus and essentially refuse to as much as possible except when it would be irresponsible not to. We all need to be managing these different stratus at the same time.
And our walk is always personal and unique. I feel alone…for the most part, and I feel that where I try to live not many others do, they don’t want to, they can’t or just aren’t wired for it. But I’ve come to know that if I embrace the loneliness I’ll likely find deeper meaning in the unknown of my personal search. I have come to accept that it will just be that way.
*the paradox*
Everything is about connection and we’re all connected. So I’m trying to fully experience this human thing; live fully, love deeply, be the most beautiful expression of myself. Way out there on the far side of the connection spectrum is love…I’ll meet you there.
And there it is all simple and easy!!!
