Lucky Number 07'
NOTE*So a new year is fresh upon us. What unforeseen joys and perils will we cross this new year? I have taken a lot of time off from the blog for personal reasons. I found that I needed a rebirth in my writing. I wanted to start enjoying writing all over again. The scary part is I've fasted so long from putting my words and sentences together in such a format that perhaps I have let some really great ideas pass without marking them or bringing them to life. I suppose though if they were truly great ideas I would have kept them.
Lucky number 07'.
Did you feel like 2006 wasn't an easy year to live through? Maybe it wasn't a bad year, but it wasn't one you can look back on and say, "This was a year where everything worked exactly to plan." Ofcourse no year is like that but 2006 just really stood out to me as one of those years where all the planning and resolutions along with ideas just fell apart. And ofcourse 2006 was a year where many famous and infamous humans passed from this world on to whatever world there is. Have there been moments in your life where adversity stares you right in the face, and you can smell what your certain is either bad breath or impending defeat? I watched the news the first time in a long time the other night. (Back in 06' mind you.) and the focus and theme that ran throughout the hour was about the President's reluctance to change plans in the ill-fated Iraq war. It seemed there was never an end to the supply of angles to be covered by the news organization. They covered President Bush's personal stubborness throughout his life, to why he would allow a change in procedure and planning, all the way to the dusty old weapons of mass destruction claims that would surely be brought up in Congress for grounds of an Impeachment. I prefer to sit above the fray but I found myself reminded of the need for strong leadership across the country. Both from Democrats and Republicans alike. This country is starving for unification and healing. We are so divided and impersonal as a nation. We rally together in times of need but as soon as things smooth out we build our fences. We want to defeat poverty and AIDS, we want to end wars and senseless murders, we need to start in our own neighborhoods and houses. We must find a way to love the people who live next door. We should stop letting fear of what could happen rule our lives and start letting the positive unstoppable force what would happen if we respected our differences.
I find that fear rules with tactics of sensationalism. If I go into the poorer parts of a city I might be robbed. Eveyone in the poorer part of the city wants what I have, because I've heard rumors and stories.
To me that is all based on the individual. Notice it there were 5 times the thought was based around 'I'.
Rather if we start saying, We should go to the parts of the city where our fellow humans are in need we can make a difference.
There are no mights there are no stories. There is a plan to make a difference. You would be astonished and amazed what a simple conversation with a lonely or beaten soul can do. People are trapped in the idea that they are an isolated person, when truth be told they are so close to being with others who face the same problems. but fear prevents them and fear chains them to the what if's and mights. It happens to us all at some point. We must put aside those two things and as soon as we do we can find a way to have LOVE for one another.
I have a feeling this year will be more than a lucky one. This year will be a year of transition, hope, and change.
