The point of it all

“I tell you everything that is really nothing, and nothing of what is everything, do not be fooled by what I am saying. Please listen carefully and try to hear what I am not saying.”


I am continually amazed when I realize that we all silently express what we want to say or perhaps what we fear confessing, because we’re so afraid of what the perception of us will be once the truth is out. So we stay in our zone-- and slowly peer out when we feel the coast is clear, secretly hoping someone still cares enough to stay behind and listen.

I speak of myself specifically---and also those who go on “silently” around me…

It’s an endless thought trail when you realize that the one person you cherish above all is slowly dying inside because of the riddled realities that they’ve endured for so long. Sitting by, only to realize that seeking peace and actually acquiring it are two totally different things that are set on lateral paths. The key is understanding. Without understanding there can’t be an elevation to the next tier up, so it becomes easy to go on chasing your tail in never ending circles as opposed to getting results.

I’ve been tail chasing. I lost sight of seeking understanding before making moves. Interestingly enough, it takes falling and sometimes falling HARD, to be able to brush the dirt off of your scraped knees and to press on. I’d like to think that as of today, I have a new handle on one particular thing that I have taken rather lightly for the past few years. And the best part of it all, is that I had to go in continual circles for a long time before I realized I kept ending up exactly where I started---lost and without a clue.

I found one “SOMETHING” to make all my other “SOMETHINGS” come to fruition! Now its all a matter of nurturing that something….minus the little “f” we all sometimes turn into the BIG “F“----fear.
