Life is like on long festival.... a party that never ends.. guests simply come and go. But what if you don't want to party? What if the stillness and calm of right now is comforting but you feel pushed into a different state of affairs because it fill other people's expectations and makes them feel more secure that they aren't partying alone?
I can't count the number of times recently I've found myself surrounded by unhappy people, who's parties aren't so swinging.... all for differing but valid reasons. I've heard them said over and over..."If only I had known ... If only there had been some warning ... If only I had seen it coming ... If ... If ... If!" It started me thinking about how often is its been said to me? How often have we all said it? I know I've 'what-ifed' myself to distraction on numerous occasions.
Doesn't the tragedy and regret of these sorts of statements just make you want to whip out your hanky and have a good collective cry?!
I have to admit this is exactly what I might feel like doing, when listening to someone I care about feeling sad... its a way of saying 'you're not alone, I'm still here'..... but right now my own party feels filled with anticipation and excitement; laughter and fun; mystery and intrigue.... and despite the sadness and difficulties those around me are experiencing, I'm holding onto a wonderful secret enjoyment that means i cant seem to stop smiling... and I like it!
Right now is pretty great .....
