A reconsideration (and light edit) of a past post (2011)
My reflections have been not so much resolutions (as in, "I resolve to ___" ), for history reveals my powerlessness to keep such promises on my own.
Rather, my musings are more aspirations (as in, "I aim to ___ "), for it seems that, more than resolute drive, i need gentle intention that may be reset --- or even re-oriented daily.
That said, I aim to:
Be Fully Present in Today... not shame/regret/guilt of yesterday, nor fears/expectations/projections of tomorrow... simply right here, right now.
Answer the Knock at my door, inviting in the Ones Who desire to be with me here and now— Emmanuel-El.
Live with sensitive awareness and acceptance of habitat (including people, places, and things) and body (both individual and corporate) ... more greenly and serenely, if you will.
Resign from Debate ... Particularly, I aim to Live and Let Live. WithIn Discussions, yes absolutely, acknowledging that Disagreement is certain to present, at times— but Debate? That argumentative form whose chief aim is proving wrong-ness in anOther? No, I have no desire for such contentious disputation as I don’t like how I feel nor who I am within that context. (*Disclaimer: I may, as a function of #1, occasionally slip slide into “self” righteous indulgence 🙃).
Finally, continue those intentions set in years past: Be-Loved, Believe, LiveTrue+LoveAlways
To these, I can honestly and whole-heartedly sign my LifeSong in 2011 2023.
Amen.
