Really?!
It has long been my challenge
coming to realise that Life is NOT centered on ME. I know, YOU knew that [BEcause of course it
was centered on YOU!!] but it’s taken me a bit longer to
grasp.
Longer still has been coming to
understand deep in my bones that NOT everyone agrees with or even thinks like
ME. I can see from Here and Now that I might have caught some clues along the
way...
Alas, I did NOT.
Actually, early on I can see
that BEcause I was NOT amidst the
like-minded I made the decision that I
was “wrong” and conformed, as much as I possibly could muster, to those around
me.
I know it didn’t take and that
ultimately I chafed and irritated those others, but it has taken far longer to
feel sufficient even when I am standing alone.
It is, frankly, so much nicer
to BE among others who think like and cooperate with me.
I am refreshed and encouraged
by that.
However, it happens less often
and probably even less than that since I sort of steer clear of troublesome
topics and areas as best I can.
Knowing that NOT everyone
agrees with me makes it easier to BE silent.
Observe.
Reserve
judgment.
And sometimes it can feel
lonesome here…
I love you,
Currie

Not following the herd can be a distinct advantage when it comes to discovering your own unique self. ;)
