About all you can
do in life is be who you are… [Rita Mae Brown]
So I am thinking, too. I mean, how CAN you BE someone
else?! I have been running a quiet experiment for awhile, I imagine the stories
of people I see, in a day, out and about, even the people I “meet” right here,
online. I give them backstories and circumstances and it all happens without
much effort BEyond imagining.
… Some people will
love you for you. Most will love you for what you can do for them, and some won’t
like you at all. [R.M.B.]
If you’ve been reading me awhile, you know about my love
affair with this word, BE. Sometimes I am asked about it, why I capitalise in
inside of words like BEing and BElieve. I don’t have a pat answer. It’s really
just something that happened in the course of BEing me.
To be yourself in a
world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest
accomplishment. [Ralph Waldo Emerson]
Sometimes I think it’s my way of embracing my first name,
Barbara, while at the same time affirming I want to BE Currie. [although that may BE TMI, don’t you agree?!]
Follow your inner
moonlight; don’t hide the madness. [Allen Ginsberg]
I’m just saying…
I love you, Currie

Being yourself--just being--is much harder than we think. A life-long quest! ;)
