Our Lives, Our Way

                This video suggests a way that we can live better. It is a way, not the way. It can be our way.There is plenty of choice. We can use our wisdom, intelligence, beliefs, feelings and needs to choose as best we can. We can take care of ourselves as we will.  Our way of life is up to us. An excellent early step is to show up. To show up we may find it useful to stand up. Another important step, one suggested on this video, is to realize usually that resisting others is not productive, violence is particular not productive. 

                For example, when we do not like their food, we can co-operate to get the best food we can. We do not have to by food we do not want or like. We can refuse to buy their food. We do not have to do without. Think about it if you wish. If  you do so, you might also consider what it means to show up. 

Woman and Girl

Mago Bill: EsoExo: Understanding, knowledge, meaning, wisdom,  experience, and learning.

 

             She was young, about my age then. She was speaking with an older woman whom she obviously cared for, but she was saying with some vehemence, "You just don't care."

            The older woman seemed truly fond of the girl. She may have felt some hurt at the girl's words, still, she responded in kindly tones. I remember what she said. She had said, "I have come to see that many things do not matter much and that most things don't matter at all."

            The girl answered, still with some feeling, "You don't care about anything."

            The woman answered, a bit as though she were speaking to herself as much as to the girl, "Once knew a wise old gentleman who didn't believe in "things."

            After a few seconds the woman continued, "Your feelings matter to me very much, but I am not responsible for them."
