Day 24
Learning that most fear is a construct and all of our worries will be meaningless. Receive the gifts that Mother Nature gives and replenish them, in return it is love, life and creativity that we must choose over hatred, cruelty and destruction.
I have this thought that keeps appearing as a residual to a few years of processing and mourning the deaths of some dear people. The sudden and unexpected passing of my father, the suicide of an uncle two days before my dad and the long suffering of a best friend sick with cancer who chose the medically assisted route. Each one of these holds a life worth of lessons and teachings. The reoccurring thought is that every worry and stress each of us carries can dictate so much suffering of our everyday living. These things simply vanish when the lights of life are turned off. The remainder, what is left, are the kind moments and the virtues of one’s existence passed along as the good deeds of strangers, the smallest smile when you’re down or the timeliest acknowledgement that we are not so alone. This is leaving me to believe that people are generally good. Things are not portrayed this way in the big media corps and fast food frenzy life has become swallowed up in. These are all reflections and takeaways from another session of discovery. Everyday has new challenges contrasted by gifts of insight and new music being born.
