Blissed Out

If you've ever really wondered what kind of person you are, this precarious time in history will help to carve out the basics. It is indeed a reckoning, all thi...s. You'll be getting a clearer picture of your character and what you need to keep and discard. I know I am. There is an eerie calm that has settled in out here, a lonely quiet that forces me to think about being a human being and what it actually means to be one. I am minding it less- the unknown things, fighting them less often. I'm not counting hours or calculating 'how long' this will take. I'm simply letting myself be where I am. I hear my mother say "Well, what can you do?" I get up and make my bed. I put on clean, comfortable clothes and then I wash my face and slather on creme. I stand and look at myself in the mirror and flick the doubts off of my shoulders. I put on the kettle and select a bag of tea. I rummage around for the perfect spoon. I have so many different ones from my mother and grandmother. It makes me feel better to simply use one of their spoons. Such a small thing is so giant to me right now. I gaze out the kitchen window into the yard that is covered in trackless snow. I feel like I'm waiting for someone. Maybe it's me. I'm waiting for me to show up. I light a fire and it's like an elixir. The sound of the wood crackling is mesmerizing. I don't have to pack a bag and race around and close the house up for a long trip ahead. I can be where I am. I suppose I could conjure up the voices of worry in my head. But I'm not going to. Worry is a liar. This little shard of history will fold over itself. It's going to take some time. It will require patience and more than anything else, an enormous amount of kindness. Treat other people kindly. Take only what you need. Share what you have. Encourage others whenever you can. Be positive even when you're not sure. Be determined. Be steadfast. Be careful. Smile when you pass a stranger on the street. We are not each other's enemy, we are each other's salvation. There is no life without a community of souls. We imperfect souls blazing through the universe in search of true love. A true love of ALL living things. Let us protect what we have left when this lifts. Let's not go back. We have it in us to be so much more. BECOME THE PERSON YOU WERE MEANT TO BE.
