Oh the barometer.. it tells us when the weather is shifting and gives us all kinds of numbers and pointy arrows pointing to millimetres and millibars.
And then there is the other barometer.
cricket..cricket..
Yes... a bit rusty.
But still able to get a reading on what works right. For me.
Where am I going with this? There is often clearer line from point A to point B than the one proposed. Faced with a fun and interesting conversation last night , I had a chance to dust off my seldom used rusty little gauge. And then it hit me... I felt like some kind of weird morality thing was being stirred up in me. Not religious or anything, but a human nature thing. I can choose to make a fool of myself and often do.. whether intended or not. But I don't want to put that on others.
I have had times where I was so immersed in whatever was in front of me that I had a stream of what I thought were outside the box ideas that would make a huge difference. And some were. Some were not so good and sometimes those not so good ideas were the ones I acted on. And I learned the hard way (kicked in the heed) to serve the bigger good (what I would call the universe) than my own. I hope this isn't sounding totally "stick in the mud-ish." I am befuddled with the stuff left inside my brain after this conversation and while I hope I haven't missed out on a chance to help out buy saying no to a wacky request, I do hope that for some greater good my rusty little gauge pegged out for the right reasons.
This is a funny (not funny ha-ha..but funny hmmm..) post. Totally current event, honest, yet veiled to protect the innocent.
The other funny thing is after this conversation I realized how I do have some good ideas still... and I never really get to use them or express them anymore. Now THAT is sad.
I don't even want to post a gauge for The Sads. Those are not welcome.
