how the OutSide here is a circle of Rooms, this place, my home at the center of the rooms, within this home are rooms.
how this Place, this blog, is a Room.
Expand/Contract
i sense the feeling that words cause…is it expansion? contraction? what do both Feel like?
this blog and what a heavy word that is, blog….but it's what it's called….this blog is a Room, as real as the other ones…the place where i come to sit at the end of the day with All of Us, me included. Us. Sometimes in silence, sometimes with an exchange of words. But it's a Real Room. I just spent some time thinking, feeling what it would be like to not come to this Room. Contraction.
i went around today visiting other people's Rooms, their Blogs and sat and felt what that was to be invited IN, no matter what was happening there, how Loving that is. Expand. I thought about how if anyone asked i would so much be FOR creating a blog, no matter What For, how it EXPANDS our worlds.
I went to Martine's Place and this was there, as if FOR me….
"the witchery of living
is my whole conversation
with you my darlings.
All i can tell you is what I know.
Look, and look again.
This world is not just a little thrill for the eyes.
It's more than bones.
It's more than the delicate wrist with its personal pulse.
It's more than the beating of a single heart.
It's praising.
It's giving until the giving feels like receiving.
You have a life – just imagine that!
You have this day, and maybe another, and maybe still another."
Mary Oliver
an accidental tweak but i like it a lot.
