Let Go And Something Better Will Come, I Am Following My Own Advice

Recently, I faced a crisis that does not seem so logically bad. The crisis was losing one of my portable digital players. Sure, attachment seems like a great thing while it is happening. When you lose something, especially something valuable, but indeed, replaceable. It is rather painful at the moment it happens. I mean some wild emotions go through you, especially when you are outwardly calm and collected about it.

Life goes on though, and it always pushes you to get on with it, and it goes on with or without you, frustration or not.

It does not seem fair, but then does the Bible verse "to them that have, more will be given and to those who have not, what little they have will be taken away" seem fair either?

It has to be fair though, because that is how life logically work, and illustrates exactly what I mean by "B.I.B.L.E.", Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth! Sure, I could make this article all "warm and fuzzy" and less realistic, but would I be serving you honestly? No, I would not be serving you honestly and forthrightly.

Sure, I could tell you, it will be fine if you close your eyes, pray a few minutes and change your frequency simply, but that would not be honest either, it does not work for me. All I can realistically say is my own solution: Work at being better next time realistically when I have the opportunity to and do not be attached to what was lost. If it is found, wonderful, I am not against that. If it is not found and ends up replaced, especially with something better, that is even better. Indeed, though, the worst thing in life and existence is attachment.

For example, B.B. King realized that his guitar "Lucille" was replaceable as an inanimate object, but he as a person was not. If you are having the impression of thoughts I think that you are thinking from that statement, you realize how life works. As long as you genuinely exist, material things are easily replaced, the consciousness behind them is not. Sure, I could be less coldly realistic and more warm, but is life when you lose something "valuable". Only when you find it or replace it with something better is it that way in a sense, but reality rears its head: Faith without action, consciousness and conscience behind it is dead. All else is gold turning into lead. As long as reality works and you work reality, you can do what needs and wants to be done, in that order, however the mess seems to be.

Let It Rock, Life Goes On

You've probably heard it, the little ditty about two kids who grow up in America's Heartland. It chides that life goes on even after the thrill of living is gone. I love that song. It rocks, but every time I hear that chorus, I shake my head. I believe the lyricist has things mixed up. Other songsters croon about stopping to smell the roses; loving old pick-up trucks, and kissing an angel good morning. Are these not some of the thrills of life?

There is a thrill every time I watch the sun rise over a distant hillside, all orange and golden with the raiment of autumn beauty. There is another thrill in witnessing that same sun sink slowly below those hills, casting its' sultry shadows to inspire feral abandonment.

Don't negate the thrill of the seasons changing, blending into each other year after year. Holidays mark the passing of time with annual traditions, thrilling us with fireworks, celebrations, decorations, and gifts given and received.

My eyes tear up and my heart thrills wildly under my hand watching solemnly as uniformed veterans step to the beat of a marching band. They bear the old glorious flag they defended against tyranny and terrorism and my face echoes the pride in theirs.

There is a thrill in gaining an education, learning a new fact, mastering a Mozart concerto, and writing a poem. Many people feel a thrill of pride in doing a job well and seeing it through to completion.

Meeting the man or woman of your dreams and sharing that first shy kiss. Realizing you love that person and they love you back and taking that relationship to new levels can send you into thrilling ecstasy.

I have had the unequalled thrill of giving birth, of crying along with those first lusty squalls and silencing them with the innate instinct of suckling a hungry mouth at my breast. I watched that child discover the world around her, crawl, walk, and then run. I have been baffled at endless questions, first days of school, Junior High, puppy love, driving permits, prom, and graduation. Parenthood is a thrill coupled with exquisite joy and stark terror all in one.

There are subtler thrills in every day comforts such as that first cup of hot coffee in the morning, or the Sunday comic that has you chuckling in delight. A dip in a clear sparkling lake on a hot day, the lush heady perfume of Springtime, the taste of melted chocolate and toasty marshmallows between graham crackers, are all thrilling, as is a good night's sleep snuggled under fresh crisp sheets.

So, Mr. Songwriter, stop the lament of a life without thrills. There are thrills all around you if you look for them. They are as brazen as bouncing at the end of a giant rubber band over a raging river, or as humble as a field, bright yellow with buttercups. You have it all backward. Life goes on yes, and so do the thrills. Stop and smell the roses, love those old pick-up trucks, and kiss an angel good morning.

Life is a never-ending thrill. Thrills will endure as long as life itself continues, and trying to predict when life will end has been a thrilling challenge since it first began.
