holi-daze

Sometimes as time passes, when taking the time to reflect on the essential elements of human "being" it makes me wonder, just what does "being" mean. The art of pushing through rough times is a learned ability for some and comes easily for others. Some are born with a personality of "let's go"...others may find it hard to "trudge through the day" others may just stay in "limbo" numb to spatial aspects of existance itself.

After going through some things in life and struggling with momentary seasons filled with many varied emotions I stop and try to think about the people in the surrounding area. What personality do they have, what do they perceive "to be real"... what have they lived through to get them to the point of their inevitable "beingness"... is "being" just the ability to have thought or is it mixed with conscious, fortitude, spirit/essence/ummmph, moral codes, ethics at different levels and on... Just what makes an individual end up with different temperaments and if one does go through a joyous non-jaded life just what makes them so different than those who have little or lot of struggle and sometimes happen to get to the end of the finish line with smiles on their faces and just say... hey... how are ya.

After learning to adapt through things, the one thing learned is that happiness does take little, medium or much effort for some.... and to those who do work at being happy... hat's off to ya... you are
thought about, since I was once a person who had to "work" at being happy.

One day I asked myself an honest question and made a goal of the ending result after some self reflection... "what kind of legacy should I leave". ...

The holiday season is in the air... and some are lonely or lost something dear to them... to everyone who has a hard time... hoping for moments of serenity and peace for you.
