And, we begin again
at ONE.
An opportunity to start over, begin anew,
and refresh our perspective, just as the start of this new year of 2013
(on one/one) offered us.
As much as I love words, as much as I enjoy pontificating on meaning,
playing with metaphor and searching, always searching, for this thing called LOVE,
ONE TRUTH is that
there isn't any sense
(cents).
THIS HERE AND NOW IS A MYSTERY.
This, my friends, is where the true beauty lay.
This is the real power.
We don't really know what animates these human forms,
what drives us to rise every single day, seeking,
what calls us forth and beckons us into the next adventure,
always crashing and colliding from one moment of relating into another.
Life is, after all, one grand dance.
We don't know why some of our dance partners are like beacons,
brightly illuminating a path that we feel destined to follow,
while others we allow to simply drop away like a cool breeze in the night.
There isn't any sense to it, aside from the meaning with which we choose to ascribe.
And, I think that's the point. In an era when we've forgotten how to share oral story,
in a time when we'd rather plug into our iphones, or ipods, or "I-gotta-have-it-now-daddy!" mentality,
the richness of simplicity has been lost and the MAGIC that is always surrounding us has become either a boring backdrop of repetition or senseless chaos in a world gone mad.
Yet, there's only and ever ONE you. And the greatest movie is playing out right now. The greatest tale that could ever bee told is in the midst of unfolding - it's called YOUR LIFE. Notice how each individual thread - the moments that transpire as you sit in the car during your daily commute to work, the songs that come over the radio, the billboards on the passing trucks, the letters on license plates, the birds swooping and preying overhead as well as the individual people whose paths cross yours - is interwoven and layered to create the warmest, thickest, most beautiful tapestry. Now, multiple that by billions and trillions of tapestries and know that your life is a miracle even as you are but ONE speck of space dust.
