Being clumsy can come about from doing too many things at one time. It also means that we could be distracted about something. Whether it be spilled coffee, dropping a dish or tripping over your shoelaces being clumsy comes from being human. Everyone has their moments when clumsiness takes over.
For Those Seeking Paradise – Phil Collins – Another Day In Paradise
This is to everyone seeking paradise wherever they are today. May we all find our own place in the heavens while we are here on Earth. Grace, peace and love good people.
Something About Stars
This morning while walking the dog I looked up and saw the stars in the sky shining brightly. The big dipper, the little dipper and other constellations were still visible in the dawn sky. Somehow this morning it put some things in perspective. Once you get out of Earth’s atmosphere things seem a little less complicated.
The drama of the planet seems to disappear. It’s just you and the celestial heaven that is all around you. Maybe we need to look to the stars of creation to reset and renew our soul. Yeah stargazing can help you think about things in a new way or at least remind you things aren’t as bad as they might seem.
Wherever you are, look up to find yourself again.
Coming Out And Living Authentically
Everyone wants the freedom to live authentically, to be themselves, to be who they in their heart and soul is for real. People get only one shot at this life and they should be able to make the most of it. For so many there is fear of disappointing those in their lives who might not understand who they really are.
So many in so many places there are people who desire to have a chance to express who they are without reservations or reprisals from others. Issues of gender, sexuality and love are fluid these days. Stereotypes are being broken down and people are learning what it is to embrace their interests even those who don’t fit traditional roles.
There are people in small places who live in sadness and fear because they don’t love in the same way their parents did. Coming out is a dangerous proposition because not everyone understands what it is to be a LGBTQ person. All they want to do is to exist in a place and space where they are loved and understood. Unfortunately many of them suffer the cruelty of people who find their way of life as evil, sinful, despicable, immoral as they understand it from a lack of understanding and grace. Many LGBTQ people have faced serious hate that they have taken their own lives to escape the pain they have endured from others who don’t want to understand them.
As people are celebrating National Coming Out Day today they are sharing their stories and joining in community with others who are just like them. As a heterosexual man I support those people who just want to be themselves. Gay people should just be allowed to be people openly and freely without fear. Things are getting better for them but there is still a long way to go. I am proud to be friends with a wide spectrum of people and some who embrace the rainbow that connects them to a community of love who just want to live in harmony with others. There is nothing wrong with these wonderful people. Without them much of our world would not be the same. Histoy chronicles many gay people who have done amazing things to make the world a better place.
My friends I support the LGBTQ folks in my life. If I could have more friends like them I would welcome that with open arms. There is still much I want to know about their lives. All I know is that they too are made in the image of God and they are special and unique creations placed here for a purpose. Love is love. Equality forever.
Weird, A Side Effect of Awesome. Makes Perfect Sense
I never thought about weird and awesome as being linked before. When you think about it this just makes sense. Have a awesome day and be weird in the process.
Daily Prompt: Original
Being an original is so hard when so many want to be copy cats. Doing something new, innovative and exciting takes a lot of hard work. I think of people who were brave to create things that made the world a better place.
WordPress.com as a social blogging platform is full of original and creative people doing interesting things. Being original means standing out from the rest. It’s encouraging when original people empower others to be original themselves.
On a personal level being original means marching to the beat of your own drummer. It is sad when originality and individuality are met with criticism. Always be you, always be original.
