HOW DEEP CAN PEACE AND JOY BE?
Well at least ankle deep—if you jump in head first. There’s an old farmers joke including a barn on fire and having to jump into a pig sty…
Maybe later in the year I’ll get into some more farm sayings and then “jumping in head first will take on a different perspective.
For now (and as I try to remind myself now is the only time there really is in the worldly circumstances anyway) it’s the different perspective I wanted to ramble on about.
As I sit here typing I think of how the keys are very easy to press (nothing like the old manual typewriters they built from World War I cannon parts) and about how I overtype some things because the emotions run high and I have a “heavy thumb.” Yet in spite of the light feel of the keys, I sort of feel like I‘m sitting at a piano composing a mental melody. I can arrange a all aligned attitudinal arsenal of aaliterations. Or chime in time with a sublime rhyme too cute for a scholar and to loud for a mime. I can hope to take a journey that spans miles and miles and brings you to tears or prompts some slight smiles.
Mostly I can spend a few minutes not worried about yesterday’s scoreboard to triumphs and stumbles. I can simply enjoy the word as it tumbles onto the screen in a flash and a flicker—and wish that the thoughts some days would come so much quicker. However each time I sit here I get a new view of what’s inside me and I’ll share it with you. I get the feeling that my thoughts are just being and these keys are merely their tools for freeing some of my burdens for a moment or two. Okay, Okay, I’m just about through.
when I sit down to type I’m in my own space. It can be lonely and a scary new place…. but It can also be a tremendous release where I find my mind drifting directly toward peace. And in this place the doubts and demons aren’t hard to destroy because writing this with you brings peace and joy… and not just a little it usually quenches my thirst becauseI’m in ankle deep but I dive in head first.
Well here’s what it boils down to… when I’m writing I open my spirit and float like a river. I hope you enjoy or think about these words I deliver
You can throw them away but some you may keep you see peace and joy can get rather deep
