| "So Many Feelings" Leonardo Ricardo July 2017 |
Does one get enhanced feelings with more age? Who knows? Not me, but it seems like I have more of them, or I feel them more than ever before. How do you keep count? Sometimes they wear me out!
I have a friend who I chat with regularly on the telephone. A friend who lives in Guatemala but not near me. We are "Norte Americanos" both. My friend has a PHD and is very wise in many real life "experienced" ways. She has experienced many BIG challenges, met them and remembers much of the journey that may come to an end in Guatemala one day.
We agree that life is a one way *trip* and the inner and outer scenery changes/changed greatly along the way...all the time there are changes and mostly in a very mind-expanding, and/or mind-boggling way.
We are NOT among those who stay with their/our own tribe...mostly. We are one way travelers with individual seat assignments, plans, hopes and ideas varied regarding our past and our personal destinies. We are singles and one of a kinds. We agree, we were/are willing to go for the ride, strive to do our part to survive, and to keep going on the creative, and even not so creative, journey. We are willing to "accept" the many things we can not now, or before now, change. We both know how to say "no." We don't admire "denial" or pretend. Each of the "we" are a strong force in our own lives (and sometimes other peoples lives too).
For me this is a renewed but even more clear awareness...personal awareness grabs me, shakes me and says something like "stay, stay with ME again today, feel the real, don't be afraid"...being in the *real* brings me to exactly who I am at this moment in time (my time and your time/all time). Few diversions from the "truth" are allowed by me. Leap!
I had no idea there was so much of me/others to see...I like being present.
