Sparkles on our bodies - December 9th

What matters?

What matters?

The little moments. The individual good ones…

As a parent. The good moments. And I guess the bad ones, the challenging ones too… how we recover from them.

What matters? The little ones…with people, with strangers.

What matters, the mindful moments, when I/we remember to enjoy, be thankful, put aside the ‘negative voices’ that like to interfere with basic living!!!

The moments with the people… average humans. A smile, an acknowledgement, a witnessing.

The little joys…. Sparkles on our bodies for decorations. Christmas lights. Baking cookies, eating them as a tea party.

What doesn’t matter… perhaps the fear of the future and what’s to come. Though I know it’s a fine balance… in this time, and just the experience as humyns.  But the getting caught up, in the ‘numbers’, the possible outcomes…

What matters is the real LIVE moments, that may also be live virtual moments. But the LIVE ones are really important too. They are more important than we know. We as humyns need the live moments. We need to keep those HUMYN moments supple.

What matters is basic self-care… body/mind/spirit. It’s paying attention to where we are on all fronts, and doing our best to cover all those grounds, and tend to them.

What matters is making sure we are all cared for, without anger against others. Is that possible? Can we minimize social-policing, can we maximize openness and understanding, even for folks who sit in other headspaces/life-circumstances than our own.

We don’t know other’s experiences. We don’t know others lives.

We don’t know others parameters in which they live.

What matters is empathy for others right now.
