Five days ago I found myself walking alone on a street near my house that Ive never been to. How did I get there? Thats another story for another day - but for now Id like to share what happened to me on that particular street just a few days ago. It was cold. It sounds cliche but thats because I wasnt wearing conventional clothing. Again, another story, bear with me. Lets just say I was chilly. Immediately I thought, I should return home. Its cold. But I didnt. Usually, I would listen to my Inner Voice. But I didnt this time and, honestly, Im glad I didnt. I cant constantly cave into my Inner Voices every whim and desire. Sometimes I have to put my cold foot down and say, No. No, not this time. Next time maybe but this time: no. So there I was. Rebelling. Excited about it. I was on a street I had never visited and, yes, I was bit cold - but I was genuinely alive in that moment. I knew whatever happened next would mean something. Everything leading up to what was now had to mean something. Thats how life works. Life, right then, was in full swing. Remember my post a few days ago about a squirrel? If you dont I strongly urge you to scroll down my page and read it. The only reason I say that is because it will help you digest what I experienced a little better. Okay, basically I met a squirrel. But trust me, you had to be there and you had to be slightly cold and it would have meant something to you. There was a bit of chirping [ from both of us if Im being candid here ] and there was also a bit of bashful glancing at one another. Hell, we were becoming friends. It was beautiful. There was an exchange of sorts. Man and beast. Let me ask you something - do you really think were that much different than the squirrels we generally ignore in life? We arent. Damn you to hell, we arent!
