• The Shift from Ugly

    I feel bad that my last post was my confessions of dropping the f-bomb in my front yard.  Not a pretty note to leave you all with.  My computer has become a problem that I got too busy to address.  Not enough summer hours for all on my list, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel, so all is well in the not too far off future of my postability. Yay. 

     My thoughts of late have been trying to shift away from the ugliness that likes to rear its head when we're skipping down the road of life.  We make the choice whether or not we want to engage in the ugliness and frankly when I get in that arena, I come ill prepared because I don't play the same ugly game. The ugliness can teach us the game, but again, do I want those tools?  I think not.  The tools I want are the ones that give me the perspective to know that ugliness is what ugliness does.  Maybe I can come up with a slogan for my quest away from it to keep me on track.  Something like:  "Beating a path to sanity and you're not invited."

    Got any ideas for my slogan?

     My point if any is that I'm back to my thought of holding the space for good stuff to grow in the dark ugly spaces.  I know that sending ugly into ugly just makes ugly bigger.   Have a flower Mr. Ugly!

     May the rest of your week be full of good encounters.  If not, find new encounters.
