“Everybody is unique.  Compare not yourself with anybody else lest you spoil God’s curriculum.”

             Baal Shemtov

I wrote out a Birthday Card and choose that quote, and then I said, “Enjoy being you, since no one else can!” 

It often seems, we feel we fall short of the mark of being ourselves, yet is that possible?

I also said that in each day there are presents to open up.  If you look around, you will see wonderful displays just waiting for your eyes to fall upon them.

While delivering mail yesterday, I was presented with wonderful cloud formations.  In fact, I am sure I was a little bit slower on the route, because I was cloud gazing mailman, but the designs and colors were awesome.

In the moment when I bumped into my long lost sister, I was almost left with feeling that, I could have brought more, said more, done more and then I thought more of what?

What more can I be than Me? 

How can we plan in advance for a chance encounter?

All we can literally do is be ourselves or pretend not to be.

What is the line “To be or not to be.”

I heard a about a new book twin brothers wrote called, “Either You Are In, or You Are In The Way.”  Isn’t that an awesome title! 

I took it that either you are in your life, or in the way of your life as it is happening.

When I get stuck on thought patterns like “If only, I wish, she should have….I am in the way of life as it is happening right now.

The present is arriving while I am wool gathering.  Wool gathering I believe is an old fashion term for dreaming.

Maybe we need to change that phrase to Lie Gathering!

We are gathering lies against what is, a bag full of them like ammunition to the present moment, killing all hopes of Now.

We even gather lies about ourselves, we should have, could have, etc instead of being ok with what we did.

This also got me to thinking of what a sister looks like, acts like, and is?  Isn’t that going to depend on the individual wearing the sister sweater?  Somehow we actually look at the sweater and then not see who is wearing it.

We focus on the pretty sweater called Sister and not see who is beneath and their actions.

I have disrobed all my sisters of their sweaters and then while naked I watched them be.

Alone without the benefits that seem to come with sister sweaters, just standing there being themselves.

The benefits that seem to come with the sweater is that it camouflages the being beneath.

In my life the sweater never was the issue, and there are Mom sweaters, Dad sweaters, Brother sweaters, all are designed so it seems to cover up the individual beneath.

As I see it, society at large is hell bent on saving the ‘family’ of sweaters at all costs.

Once I took off all the sweaters I was astounded at what lay beneath, even of myself.  I used to do many odd things wearing that sweater!
