This time of year is always nostalgic for me!
My fascination for holiday lights, tinsel and oversized jeweled christmas ornaments always make their way into my storage as I always buy more and more for the next year and the next and on and on.
I decided a long time ago that just because it was not a perfect holiday that the pursuit of trying to have the perfect holiday is ridiculous.
I would always make each year my own and would always hope that somewhere and somehow I could bring just enough magic to someone else.
That I could somehow make their holidays a little happier, a little brighter or just show them I care.
A little traveling music if you will...Some people Aint Me!!!
I have always been a student of human nature. Just plainly fascinated of everyone and their different thought process.
A terminal observer of those moments.
I would see when no one noticed that there was the slightest tear forming in the eye.
I would see my friends as stoic always trying not to show emotion.
I would always catch them being human. I loved it.
When someone says I really do not want anything for the holidays and what they are really saying is don't forget me.
People are fearful of wanting what they really want and even then can not bring themselves to express the true person that is behind the mask, behind the face that we show to everyone.
To be authentic is to be courageous!!
To be the person you have always wanted to be.
To be needed.
A simple human want. To know that someone needs you and is dependent on you for just showing up.
We can be very fragile.
We can also be very strong.
I have not always chosen the normal path or even cared if I did.
I have always jumped in and figured it all out along the way. The only constant thought for me.
"Keep on Going"!!!
Go even deeper!
I only regret that I have no regret.
It feels so empowering to know this truth and not be weighed down by comments from passing strangers. Not be connected to judgements from the ones that do not understand.
We all travel at our perfect and personal realizations.
That is all that matters. We begin to realize the truth. We are just who we are. If you take the time to get to know the path you were chosen to be. The higher path. The momentous path of our individual greatness. Please own the fact we are born with the light in us.
Sometimes the clouds get in our way. Not today!!
Let's go back to my intrigue of Holiday lights. Our true self is nothing but that.
We are light. The more we embrace ourselves of who we are as a person. The lighter we become. We are always on a mission of renaissance! A mission of realization! A mission of growth!
When I write, I write in waves of light. You will read my sentences and sometimes you get the Ah Ha moments and sometimes you get the Oh My God.... The more you look for those moments, the larger than life they become.
Would you not rather have a day of wonderment than a day of clouds? Happy Holidays!!!
Please be a part of light!
I have tons to share.
Cheers. This is Rand Angel for Live-Live-Lives. Peace!!
