Sometimes I find myself stepping back and marveling at the
complexity that humanity has created in order to get from birth to death.
We are all just walking each other home. It seems pretty simple
when it's put that way. Each moment of the journey is rich with
possibility, with blessings, with challenges, but in the end it's just a step
on a journey of many steps. It is too easy to get wrapped around the axle of
past, present, or future - to loose perspective. For some, being wrapped
around the axle of life has become a way of life. For some, the beauty
and simplicity and camaraderie of the journey has been lost in the man made
complexity.
We are all just walking each other home.
Does it matter if you are first, or last?
In truth I enjoy walking shoulder to shoulder so that we can touch, so
that on this short journey of a lifetime we can be more intimate, and get to
know each other. I would like to foster a relationship with those that I
walk with of listening, and caring, or helping and encouraging and of gracious
generosity of heart, mind, and spirit. We should not be tripping, hindering,
blocking, restricting, or in anyway impeding or making the journey artificially
difficult. That is foolish, childish, selfish behavior that inevitable
leaves one alone on a dusty road to death. There is no purpose for petty
nuances on this simple journey.
We are all just walking each other home.
Walk with me awhile. I appreciate
your company. I am pleased and honored to walk with you, and I am
grateful for your company, however, long we walk together. Thank you for
enriching our walk home.
With Love
Betsy
