I am stood silent
in between another, what’s the big deal
conversation
unwilling just now to step in
or engage in
the what and
the why
as so often the world these days
feels
too
exhausting
where flippancy and blatant unkindness
grand selfcentred-ness, intentional belittling
disguised
as joking
at someone else’s expense
are tidied up as
what’s the big deal
where really, what I can tell you
I think the big deal is
people being kind to each other
as well as
to themselves
people being
thoughtful instead of just… thought
of
I really could care less about your salary or even
your accomplishments
if you happen to be a shitty human
I think it’s a pretty big deal
that the sun is out today
that the sparkles, the shadows and
the light
are pretty magnificent
have you noticed?
I think it’s a pretty big deal
that I can call you my friend
in awe
and genuinely admire
ways in which you shine
I do feel quite honoured by the friendships
I have
I think it’s a pretty big deal
that I can absolutely feel, (when I am quiet)
a genuine connection
to love
to
the earth
and the sky
to the trees
to the toad I spoke to yesterday
and the sun…
for what life sometimes put us through
I think it’s a pretty big deal
to be here
to be
present
to be honest
to be kind
while he is on the road
my husband sends me a picture of
a bald eagle
that he is looking at
right
in front of him
and that grace,
the awe and majesty
that
connection
to us
is
absolutely
a
big deal
This morning I read this from Patrick Muindi,
“If you don’t write, you’ll never know how beautiful your thinking is. And you deserve to know, even if only you will ever see your writing.”
and how very much
I appreciate this
many times I have said
I don’t really aspire to anything here
except just to share
some
thoughts
if today, you have come along on this
wander,
I thank you
for being here
sincerely
I do
cause I think You
are kind of a big deal too ♥
