How.Is.It.Possible
Again
I am having to come up with a format or a way of doing it my-way. Two contradictory ideas running parallel and
he thinks it important to give them equal time without being biased.
Main
idea he wanted to write about in this blog:
How is it possible I missed this?
Have
decided I could write a book about such a topic but am willing to discipline
myself and leverage the moment and the situation to condense it all to a daily
blog. Keep it short. Make a point.
Post it. Come back tomorrow.
Two
ideas on the page that I want to give equal exposure and time. Is it possible? This could lead to a discussion that opens
doors of opportunity for some, and slams the door shut for others.
My
second major theme for this blog. How is
it possible I missed this?
And
could spend quite some time going into a discussion about missed opportunity
and how my whole education and family and cultural upbringing, prepared me to
miss certain things in life.
Probing
and wondering if indeed I missed anything, or if this was just selective
living, such that it was the best survival technique available to me at the
time. Didn’t miss anything important,
but now that we look back with hindsight, seeing we have The Internet and
Connected Society, we may be missing many opportunities and future events, just
because it is so new and we have yet to apply the energy and effort to
be-in-the-know, whatever that means.
Contrast
that with the idea of need-to-know, and
realize there are many things that some do not allow us to know or have access
to. Is this possible, that we have had this
artificial restriction imposed upon us.
Access to Information, and is that limitation now removed, with the
advent of The Internet? Not sure where
we begin with a discussion like this, realizing this is a blog and I must keep
it short.
Keeping
this conversation short might prove to be impossible. How is it possible? How.Is.It.possibe and this is a new way of
presenting all of this to myself. What
did I miss? And this may involve a
discussion about timing and
development. What did I miss because
there was no computer available to me in 1953?
What did I miss and how is it possible that something like this could
happen?
Of
course, I have my own perspective on this, and maybe the reason I take the time
and energy to blog about such things.
How can we miss something, if it is unknown to us. Hence a discussion on the principals of need-to-know living and being. Inclusion and Exclusion as a principled way
of social being and interaction. Gets
deep and complicated just by introducing such things as simple as need-to-know.
Missing
something? What did I miss. Leads me to a path where I have 9 out of 10
chances to stay off the path and be lost.
Not sure if this is where I want to go.
Missing something. Taking the
wrong turn. Ending up in the wrong
place. Wow. Didn’t want to take this conversation to this
intersection of wrong or right. Nope, is
something I was hoping to avoid. The
wrong place or topic or path. So missing
something and asking, “how is this possible?”, and then being clever and
thinking you can end up somewhere else just by using a different format: how.is.it.possible .
Missing
Something , and missing someone and suddenly I am wondering how it is possible
I missed out. Missed out on what? A little companionship. A major development of being human. What did I miss? And that could be a blog for another day. Why do we miss someone.? Why does this come up during the holidays.? Leads us to talk about relationships and
family and love. Love the holiday
season. Is something that comes with
me. Pleasure and Passion for this time
of year. And is my job to make it
happen. Holiday Cheer.
At
the point where this blog becomes too long.
So will cut it short. But before
I go. Will wish you a happy and
prosperous period of celebrating and being with others. Am good to go now. Won’t stray off the path, because I won’t go
there. Will stay at home. Turn on the music, and turn up the
lights. Will brighten my surrounding and
gladden my heart, raising spirts to the highest point, by just saying, “Holiday
Wishes to All. Have a good time.”
And
for now. That’s it. Won’t dwell on something more complicated
than I have time to attend to in the present moment. Is fun to wonder and speculate, but as my
friend Lonnie once said, “Now is not the
time. “
Won’t tell you what else she said and did, as that will be considered as
of this moment, as a need-to-know subject, declared by me, as off-limits. Restricted.
And for now. That’s it. Holiday’s are just in front of us. Let’s go there. And do it safely. And yes,
have fun. Tis the Season. 2016.
Enjoy.
Not only have you moved me a little towards 'Merry Christmas' but have given me 2 ideas. What is missing and does it matter. But you also have me thinking. That's good. So much of what I get is attempts to get me to believe this or that, do this or that.
ReplyDeleteI hope we both can have a fulfilled holiday and lose ourselves and others in happy places.
