It's an accurate assessment of my character to say that I have an exceedingly low threshold when it comes to people who loudly proclaim self-righteous indignation [think of the fundamental right ] as they bluster and pontificate about this, that and nothing at all -- implying they [and they alone] have any authentic worth -- harrumph.
As I sat, stewing in the cauldron of toxicity and mayhem that moronic stupidity engenders in my sensibilities, I realized that I was feeling overly burdened and weighed down by the unholy righteous contempt of people unworthy of any investment of my energies. I mean -- really -- that ANYONE would dare to spout the Bible chapter and verse when they so clearly lack any depth of understanding of Christ consciousness and its complementary compassion was giving me serious indigestion.
As each graphic so poignantly reminded me -- well, anyway. I finally stopped stewing and began to feel the warmth of love flow through me as I also began to simply feel grateful that I am who I am.
That brief respite reminded me of another graphic that represented quiet, gentle beauty I'd seen some time ago. That, in turn, led me to remember how I felt watching Glenn Close and Janet McTeer share their talent in the film Albert Nobbs. Talk about powerful, dramatic performances -- WOW.
What became evident to me as I began to shift my focus away from the folly of those who seem unwilling to think and/or feel, was what extraordinary beauty does exist all around us -- both within our own hearts or when we are touched by something external to us.
I am bathed in the wonder of how simply amazing these most precious moments can appear . . . whether a sardonic graphic, a moving portrayal of human interaction [including the disappointment of betrayal and true love] or the gentle depiction of a silent moment with a cup of tea, while gazing upon the splendor of a rose . . . SIMPLY AMAZING.
