Crank It Up

The volume at least, or speed -- maybe widen territory, direction -- just move from dead center. Change is good. Creative thinking translates into doing things differently. Let it flow. Take a good, hard look at life as you see it. Make no judgments, take no prisoners. Comparisons out the window. Simply dream a new dream, write a new script, head down another path. Risky behavior is stimulating, exciting. Moss won't grow on a rolling stone. New adventures await, tarrying not allowed.  What, exactly, is there to lose except boredom, sameness, routine, stress, frustration?

Finding Essence

Who are we? That person experienced by bouncing off those around us, the 'us' we see reflected in our family's estimation? Our friends' opinions and ideas? Community involvement? A career, or some other accomplishment? Just who are we, in all actuality?

It is an intriguing thought - that one which would be another path to another place; where no one, nothing is familiar or known. Begin anew.

No family of origin, no children, no old friends, no history at all. Make it as we go. Find out exactly who we became because of where we were placed on the planet. See if we would like to continue to be that . . . or we might rather form other, more interesting composites.  Adaptation can also be creative.

Tolerance

Tolerance. Of any and all, save doing harm to another living creature ... which includes this very alive planet. How can we expect hate groups to vanish if we are actively, mindlessly hating anyone and everyone who disagrees with our opinions?  Not going to happen. Our opinions are just that, ours. Universal 'right' hasn't been effectively established. So remember -- 'right' is to others as they decide; if harm is done as a result of those beliefs and actions, then zero tolerance. Cruelty is unnecessary and we must turn our energies and effort to methods which abolish it.
