Life is Happening.
ByLife has taken over. Life has taken over and it is a little refreshing.
School started last week. I spend my afternoons learning to folk dance, studying American Philosophy, and Philosophy of Religion, and trying to figure out what Philosophical topic I will dive into for twenty pages.
Twenty. Pages.
Aiden started a new school. It is very structured and regular. He brings his back pack and does really grown up things like show and tell. He is turning into a little child. He is having problems listening. Which I think is supposed to make me worry. But it doesn’t. It makes my heart well up knowing that my child is more like me than I ever imagined. I never listened.
Shoot, I still don’t listen.
I have been reading alot of blogs and sitting home and pondering on ideas that are impossible to answer.
Pondering on ideas that are nearly impossible to think or speak. Ideas that go somewhat like:
We have a tendency to not enjoy that there are incredibly wealthy people in the world. Is this because we are jealous? or Is this because we know that the happiness they are seeking are only mere pleasures? As humans do we have a innate desire for happiness throughout humanity that is expressed in problematic ways.
I am not even sure that thought made sense. But it was running around in my brain all day yesterday so I thought I would throw it out there.
Last night I met up with my peace and justice group from school. We hadn’t met all summer and made plans for the coming year. Lots of exciting ideas and trips floating around. We went downtown and listened to jazz and drank draft beer from large mugs. I was with my people.
We all need our people.
So there it is. My modge podge of stories. Reasons why I wasn’t here. Life is happening. And I am going to let it.

I remember way back (5 years ago, which is kinda a long time in blogging years) someone wiser than me saying something to effect of ‘you have to live life before you can blog about it’. So I’m very glad that life is happening and that when you have a moment or two, you tell us what is happening!
Miss you, girl! Been too long…
We don’t enjoy that there are wealthy people in the world because the vast majority of us live with a scarcity mentality. Instead of looking at them and being happy with their success and applauding them (even if it is just that they won the gene pool lottery), we insecurely become jealous at our “lack” of success in comparison. We feel that WE should have access to these “scarce” resources and begrudge them their access.
Picture guys (not men) out at a bar or social event, constantly c*ckblocking each other as they beat their chests over women, instead of realizing that there are an abundance of women in the place, and the world, and that if they just helped each other out, or took pleasure in another’s success, there own self esteem, joy, and pleasure in life would be inesteemibly enhanced.
Just my 2 cents, subject to inflation and devaluation Cas… ;-)
