Because life is complicated. At some levels it is. But at some levels it is quite simple. Usually this is where I sound things off and see if they make sense in the articulation as they do in the perception. It's one thing to feel something or experience something, but it is quite another to attempt to share it. I don't use specifics because, usually, several things at the same time are relating. It isn't weird, necessarily, but usually several things in the same theme all happen at the same time. Maybe because we are more tuned to an over riding emotion, we begin to see every situation in life through that "lens" at that particular time.
Yesterday, I was discussing new beginings with a trusted friend. We both agreed that most of the people in our lives were in a "transition" phase in our lives. A period of letting go and grasping on to the changing dynamics of life. We have to constantly be looking for something different, at least I do. Not different as in fundamental changes about belief systems or inherent personality traits, but in expressions of those core beliefs. I know we all go through different phases in life. childhood, teenager, young adult, husband/wife , parent, grandparent, dead guy in casket, etc. We all have a role to play in each phase. It's the transition into/out of each transition that can be tricky. So if I could rename this blog, it would be "transitions". because that is what life is: transitions. So that is why I write. As usual, some song lyrics to help you understand:
"Clarity and inspiration
Happiness is a destination, that's hard to find
It may take some time
In my mind there's something more
And ill open up a brand new door
And find the strength to close the ones I left behind
I'll get there leaning on some friends I know
The road and the radio."
Kenny Chesney = "The Road and the Radio"
