Admiring something
[or someone]
Without envying
[or desiring]
It is NOT how we are programmed
[or taught]
And yet it is our opportunity
[or choice]
Every. Single. Time
I’d have to say I still feel odd and at loose ends when I
simply admire someone else or what someone has done. I feel this inner pull and
tug. A sense of dizziness takes over my brain. It is like searching for a word
or someone’s name and it’s simply inaccessible. All of that is a polite way of
saying I’m taming the green-eyed monster who is roaring to Life inside of me.
Demanding my full attention. NOW!!!
I’ve often said I am NOT a competitive sort of person. What
I MEAN is that, yes, of course, I am programmed to “BE THE BEST” and I’ve just
as much desire to win or BE chosen as the next person, but I really and truly
despise competition. Winners mean losers. Firsts mean lasts. Yes means no.
With intention I have BEgun to rework my internal
programming. I make time each day to bask and luxuriate in the gifts of others.
I admire with my Whole BEing the wonder of those I share this Journey
alongside.
It feels odd sometimes, and then I remember that NONE OF US
was born walking…
I love you, Currie
