SuperForest,
A few weeks ago I came upon this video that told me I had been doing something I considered simple and easy the wrong way my entire life! I did not know how to tie my shoes, and this man has taught me the right way:
Wow! Right? And trust me this really works, my shoes DO NOT come untied. Ever.
This video has been one of many a thing recently that has blown my mind. The past year has been a strange one, and I feel I have gotten more lost than usual. It was almost like my life was a drawing by a one year old:
Something Like This...
Totally INSANE! Every direction at random, never having a true heading or understanding of where it was going. Which I suppose is just how life is, but it felt more random than it has in the past. At times I have found myself really detached from the world around me, and really stuck in my head. Other times I felt detached from my head, simply floating along. But along this journey, like I said, my mind has been blown. I have seen and experienced amazing things, and I am constantly trying to retune myself into being in gratitude. The strange thing, at least to me, is that my head says this past years experience should be scary or something of that nature, but in fact I feel it was actually serene. Many emotions have flown through my system in the past months, many that have seemingly bogged me down, confused me, and trampled me. But I also have had just as many that have lifted me up, made me soar, and that have given me a smile.
One of the patterns I have seen in the past year is that I have pulled myself away from this little blog. Stopped writing to myself, to you, to it. I got more involved in the physical world, and less involved here. I reallocated my energy to different people, and now I am here writing my mind to all of you. I devoted my love and time to those things and people new in my life, and now it is time to bring it all back in. Perhaps their is a trick to balancing it all while continuously adding more, but I haven’t found it yet. And perhaps part of me never wants to find that trick, love exists because we have loss and pain. It is a beautiful system of constant giving, where we must constantly divert our attention to that which is freshly given, or choose to remain focused on what we already have. Hmm..many a interesting thought here.
As always thank you for giving me your time, it constantly astonishes me that I am given it. It is a true gift, thank you. And I have sincerely missed you, SuperForest. I haven’t even been good about reading everyday, which I something I used to pride myself with. I would open my computer, and if there was a new post I would read it, no matter what else I had going on. Now I find myself saying, I can read that later. Well a old saying reawakened me to that note, “Treat others as you wish to be treated.” If I expect people to read and enjoy my writing, I must also enjoy theirs! The result? I enjoy my writing more! So, I make my mark once again on these pages, which journal the growing community of love minded individuals.
Sadly I only have a few more weeks of guaranteed internet, as I soon leave to work in Mexico for Simply Smiles, our dear SuperForest friends. So, I hope to make more of a mark in those coming weeks, and then tell you all about the experiences I have! Until next time, Constant Reader. Keep giving all that you give SuperForest & SuperForesters, it keeps inspiring me beyond belief.
Until next time,
M
