Yes I am daring to share
thoughts…my work-in-progress, still-in-process, newly-forming- infancy-stage
…thoughts on these two biggest subjects we encounter in our universe during
this lifetime…even kind of piecing them together! Lol! After-all….
‘learning-living-life-inspired’….is to share what I learn and what I am still
learning - See!?
Life! Took me way too long
to see that it was never meant to be painful and difficult but that it is a gift- a truly precious and wonderful gift! As infants we
start off with such great attitude… non-judgmental, without-expectations and
easily in-awe of most things….then come the years and with those the
experiences…which build diverse looking invisible walls all around us.…turning
us into these uniquely designed magnificent works of art I guess….as if each one of us
is made for and left demanding to be appreciated, understood and decoded all
over again somehow….Right?
How to describe Life!? I
remember learning Latin in university and reading ‘Cena Trimalchionis’ in this
ancient fantastic language…translating this entire chapter which is dedicated
to describing an outrageous, extravagant, lavish, opulent and insane feast
that this dude throws for his guests- Right? It is such a huge chapter that it
can easily present itself as a small novel all by itself…it’s the only book I
know of that spends that much time indulging in such grandiose details about the
food displayed and the entertainment offerings at a party. Put it this way:
it easily makes the infamous Great Gatsby's parties sound like a trip to McDonald’s! What if we could describe life as such a feast….it would turn out I imagine more dramatic than Dante’s Inferno, more ostentatious and grotesque than Trimalchio’s feast, and definitely more creative than the description of heaven by all accounts of religious and philosophical books’ put together even…and still we
would probably fall short in describing it somehow!! Life is this crazy cool phenomenal party.….Think about it....if you’re too shy you will miss out, if you’re
too loud it may work against you….Important to have fun, but also to be careful….Eat the wrong things and it may make you sick…eat too much and you will regret
it….drink too much and Oh Man! Who knows where that will take you…Life! It is a
celebration and learning to balance yourself through it is no
easy feat! Naturally!!
So here is an epiphany I
had today.….and it’s about Love! What if Love too is just like Life! Not only to be celebrated but more importantly that perhaps it is never meant to be anything
less than AMAZING too!!? For me in the past it’s always been a complex negative subject
you see.…always so troubled and often leaving me at such a loss….a subject that
felt painfully lacking in my story in general…and even now feels like a total stranger to me oddly….given the years I have lived I suppose;
‘Lacking!?’….I could say mostly in the romantic department….but in fact it really runs deeper and older than that if you know what I mean. So Love! What if we could
write a book to describe it too…I guess it would be potentially even more
colorful and overwhelming than our description of life…perhaps!? I imagine this
book would be truly GRAND!!! I remember once writing about kisses; I was so young and I said ‘I could
write an entire bible on his kisses... dedicating each chapter to the nature of each touch’…..and that is how I had felt just about kisses….so what about Love!?
Recently I
came to the following realization: I came to understand that those who
contributed most profoundly towards my feeling so lacking in love….had actually in
their own ways done their best for me always.…even when I just couldn't see
it…..and in seeing this I found my peace with it….I can actually feel myself
settling quietly inside.….as an ocean settles it’s tides after a terrifying
storm…..finding peace….it’s a great thing getting here!
Had to share it! This new
idea that popped up today! If Life is meant to be amazing then Love too is perhaps meant to be amazing! Not conflicted or dark or wrong...(another story for another day)…or
suffocating and controlling...(perhaps yet another story for another day too...Lol!)…but I am starting to sense it....that Love is….when we are ready to let it
in…totally clear and beautiful….I suddenly see that similar to Life…perhaps also with
Love I have been just going about it all wrong! You know what I mean!?
Learning-Living-Life-Inspired's message today is: For those lucky ones amongst us who found that special someone to share their love
with-Absolutely celebrate it! Bask away in all its glory! & For those of us
still fumbling our way towards Love- hang on tight! When we find the 'one' it will be
more than worth it! It’s going to be magically AMAZING too! I believe now!!
