I am stood silent
in between another, what\u2019s 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<\/p>\n\n\n\n
where flippancy and blatant unkindness
grand selfcentred-ness, intentional belittling
disguised
as joking
at someone else\u2019s expense
are tidied up as
what\u2019s the big deal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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\u2026 thought
of
I really could care less about your salary or even
your accomplishments
if you happen to be a shitty human<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think it\u2019s a pretty big deal
that the sun is out today
that the sparkles, the shadows and
the light
are pretty magnificent
have you noticed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think it\u2019s 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<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think it\u2019s 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…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
for what life sometimes puts us through
I think it\u2019s a pretty big deal
to be here<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to be
present
to be honest
to be kind<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and that grace,
the awe and majesty
that
connection<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to us<\/p>\n\n\n\n
is
absolutely<\/p>\n\n\n\n
a
big deal<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This morning I read this from Patrick Muindi, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIf 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.” <\/em><\/strong> many times I have said if today, you have come along on this sincerely cause I think You I am stood silentin between another, what\u2019s the big dealconversationunwilling just now to step inor engage inthe what andthe whyas so often the world these daysfeelstooexhausting where flippancy and blatant unkindnessgrand selfcentred-ness, intentional belittling disguised as jokingat someone else\u2019s expenseare…
