Isn’t life on planet earth interesting these days?
But damn if it isn’t challenging to figure out, day-to-day,
the meaning of one’s life, as you proceed through these days.
Especially, if you are wont to consider, as I am, how to be
well-grounded and also take heed of the heavens.
(I bring this up, here, assuming you might, occasionally,
have an eye to seeking a bit of heaven on earth. Last week’s guest for our
Possible Society In Motion Radio Show brought this point to mind in our
interview with him.
Check out our discussion with Jim Wagner, New Horizons Peace Buddy of the Year honoree for 2012, if you care to consider the idea, as a break
from the mundane.)
My day started off with a call from Sue, my dear collaborator, this morning to let me know that her husband’s ankle surgery,
originally slated for this morning was
being rescheduled.
The gathering is scheduled to be a combined volunteer work day,
community building program and Summer Solstice celebration. It has long been in
the planning and preparation stage. But it was going to be an added challenge, with
Sue’s energies and time needed to, also, support her husband through his
recovery process.
There had been a handful of distractions for other
volunteers too. The kinds of things that when added up suggested a bit of an
obstacle course for accomplishing advance projects for our day long events
program.
I joyfully contemplated this good news, heading up the
mountain road for my “almost“ daily walk this morning, feeling pretty sanguine,
having now reached a degree of enlightenment in my coming to terms with the
fact that I definitely do share this
road, occasionally, with a snake or two crossing my path.
Thinking to share the update of Sue’s opportune release from
the bondage of her husband’s recovery time, I optimistically sent off a text message,
announcing this fortunate turn of events, to another of our devoted volunteers
for the project.
The
response I got was this – “Some planet has gone retrograde here.”
Okay, Interesting.
However, since it is only mercury in retrograde that I have
developed a bit of caution about (and it is not scheduled until June 26), how
is this news something for me to place in perspective for the meaning of my
life, today?
You know. It’s about me, here, that I am thinking -- and -- the
significance of this news for ME.
I barely had time to consider this news of the world beyond
this mountain when a second text came my way.
This
one read – “Disruption every damn where. Or maybe it is just you.”
Okay, I thought to myself, “Another timely update. What is
this one supposed to mean for me?”
Still thinking about that one, I returned with this updated
news to enjoying my walk up the road, without seeing a snake anywhere, dead or
alive.
So I
sent another text from me to my friend, saying:
“Umm??? I don’t feel anything for me other than SUPREME
SERENITY!”
Soon the next text came back to me. This one filled with more
definitive cautions to heed.
Text
from my friend:
“Yah, but all of your satellites are crashing into things.
It’s like voodoo or something.”
To
which I responded:
“Might be, but I feel ROCK SOLID, especially with friends
like you in my life.”
Here our conversation ended with me in puzzlement, especially
as this is special friend who can, aptly, read the cosmos.
Now,
you tell me,
“Am I in a crisis, now, or not? Should I, now, run for cover
somewhere that I’m not?
What’s the deal here?
And, with all this turbulence going on around me, what on
earth is the –
Meaning of my life, at least,
for today?
It’s always something, dontcha think. Keeps a body on their
toes I’d say.
