PURPLE ELEPHANTS ACTUALLY CAUSED EVERYTHING
What if...
seeking peace and joy requires different things for different people...that’s probably. A no-brainer—yet I suppose mentioning it doesn’t hurt given we (and by that I mean I) often think that everything concept. We think about means just the same thing to everyone—hint—I’dbet my bottom dollar and yours that’s not so.
I’m gong to. Get around to Purple. elephants in a second...however first I’d like. Some of you to put on your 80’s music hat on(a dark colored sparkly one would. Be appropriate) and look up Howard Jones—No not the. Founder of a once promising. Motel chain that’s Howard Johnson— Old Oh and not the city clerk from Mayberry that’s HowardSpraig(sp). Or thatmouthy sports announcer—that’s Howard Cosell. Howard Jones’ most well-known song was
No One is to Blame”
You see many. Times something disturbs the flow that many people feel makes up Peacee. right away before th ripple of change created by the disruption has even played itself out a big rush to find out who or what threw the pebble in the water is feverishly underway. So many folks are paralyzed and nearly refuse to do much of anything in. Terms. Of shaping the disruption into a post it even thing unless and until they can assign blame for the disruption.
Do we need to understand causal relationships...sometimesDo we need to admit them... sometimes do we ne3eed to prevent the repeated mistakes of our past well probably—howeverI’ll throw out this mind bender in for good measure. There is no past.
You Read that Correctly
There is No Past...There is only a currently accepted story about things that happened before now and how they impact what is happening now.
So if the past seems to be preventing you from seeking peace or promoting it or helping others pursue it—I would invite you to adopt an acronym. For peace that just might break on through to the other side.
PURPLE ELEPHANTS ACTUALLY CAUSED EVERYTHING
You see... where did we come from and how did we get here are interesting, however knowing where. We are and what is happening now is. For more critical. If you seek peace and joy and are going to take responsibility for creating it the actions you are taking today and the actions you will take when tomorrow becomes today are far more relevant than what went on when the purple elephants were running amuck. We might all benefit. From focusing. On the tools needed to do the job at hand. After all if you call your mechanic and say my battery is dead would you expect his shop to senf out a person with a jack and a tire iron because you had a flat tire a few days back?
In short today’s ideas about the past. Impact today no matter how those ideas got here. So I’m proposing that our first step doesn’t always have to be to establish blame and to battle over. The correctness. Of our interpreation of things that happened earlier. Sometimes wee can just embrace the changes and do the experiments needed to find out what will move us toward the peace and joy we seek.
okay.. It’s my birthday or in keeping with today’s theme... Today is the day generally assigned to celebrate the day that the pebble called Jim was tossed into the waters of the. Universe and we can see a few ripples if we look especially when looking in the mirror—Oh those are wrinkles?
Okay since it’s my birthday I’m going to wrap this up to go spend time. Elsewhere. Unfortunately for you..since I mentioned elephants...we can’t leave without a couple of my favorite elephant jokes and even Howard Jones can. Say I’m to blame for bringing these into the public domain again.
I don’t know if I can get an elephant to swim, but I can make an elephant float. Of Course it will require a really big glass a lot of sodas and some fairly large scoops of ice cream
What time is it when an elephant sits on your keyboard? Well it’s the end of what you planned to write for the day or quitting time
Peace Out.
