I went to court today to accompany a famly friend who couldn't defend herself against an aggrevated elder family member who is greedy, selfish, and to my accounts, a heartless sociopath who'd rather squeeze blood out of a rock than speak with kind words and love to those who ache to be cared about by him.
You know who you are, Cowardly Lion!
I returned home to contemplate the pervasivenss of Greed in this world--anonimity--pain--anger--loneliness--motives--or lack of motivation. I have a heavy, granite boulder weighing my already heavy noggin down to the ground. But, I can't look down.....I must look up.
I should value what I do have. Family, friends, safety, nature, full-mobility of body and limbs, chocolate, and a peering light, a freckle of light squeezing itself out at me from the End of the Camino.
I hope to find balance in all respects. And balance so I don't fall flat on my butt. I hope to sense a cool, comfortable wave of easing into Peace and Understanding something, more than myself---of which, I'm not quite there either!
Wait and see. Looking forward and up!
Note to self: Watch out for the birds relieving themselves above :)
