It’s 11:11 am on 6-10-14 as I start writing this. I’m at my desk, it’s rainy and cool out, I keep going to the window to check on my customers, my birds who congregate and party all day long at my feeder, and my two old dogs are sound asleep on the floor in my room.
When are you reading this? Where are you and what’s going on? I’d really love to know.
Maybe it’s a week, months or years in the future, and just now the thoughts I transferred from my mind into the digital ether are saturating your mind. We’ve probably never met and we could be on different sides of our planet.
And now, if we weren’t before, now we are connected.
In my reality I’m sitting here writing, translating as best I can my thoughts and feelings into the words of our limited human language. Words can never do full justice to thoughts and feelings, but it’s the best we can do.
Your past experiences and your deeply held beliefs thoroughly color the meanings of these words for you, and what I mean by them and what they mean to you are at least slightly different, maybe completely different. Maybe you’ll take from them something I never intended, and maybe you won’t appreciate something I did intend. Presumably, you and I have very different beliefs.
I was about to delve into the importance of beliefs as I have in a limited fashion in the past on this site, but that will be for another day. There’s a lot to write on the topic and I want to do it justice instead of discussing it in passing.
We’re breathing, living without even trying. Isn’t that amazing? All of our lives we have continued to breathe unconsciously. What is it that powers our breath? What is it that gives us our life force? We could all have died any night in our sleep, but we continued to breathe. Do you feel the love?
It’s now 11:17 am, still on 6-10-14, and this is by far the least amount of time I’ve ever spent writing a post for this site. I hope you enjoyed it, short as it was.
