| My pace may not be that of others... yet, it is what gets me... everywhere. |
Today, that set of words took another
path. Or road. Or train of thought. … Or whatever word you like
to use for a stunning turnaround.
Over the last 8 days, I've been asking
myself, “what do I want my world to know about homelessness?”
One of the primary answers is, “I
want people to know … no, not just to know … to KNOW! To feel,
to believe, to realize, to be aware we are all a part of making
homelessness an issue of the past -- to end homelessness.”
“Okay, self … how can I do that?”
One of my parts replied, “Well, how
the dickens do I know?”
Another part responded, “I don't have
enough, power, money, influence, health, expertise, or anything else necessary to end it. No one will take me
seriously.”
Another part said, “By sharing what
worked for us." (reflecting upon all the parts of myself as if they
were one whole, communicating, be-ing)
Another part tilted it's head to one
side, partially closed one eye, with a moue that could have dropped
Mick Jagger at 20 paces in his hey-day of pouting contests, and softly
whispered, “Why don't you thank those who have helped us transform
our homelessness – even if we are still in the process of finding a
home mentally and emotionally?”
SHAZAAM! "Thank you moue self," I said, "... that is exactly what we ... er I ... will do!"
It is after all the month of
celebration of my birth, and the traditional gifts I give on my
birthday are Thank Yous.
It is after all the month of
traditional celebration in the Continental United States for
celebration of Thanksgiving Day, and I am a citizen of said States.
It is after all each person in the
world who will ultimately end homelessness. And those people in my
world, whether they intended to or not, have given me the
circumstances in which to ask my questions which are what is helping
me end my homelessness on all levels – physical, mental, emotional,
spirit (no I'm not religious and I'm not gonna start now – spirit
is not something the religious own); and on all the other levels of
be-ing that people may not acknowledge because it does not fit their
belief spectrum.
So … with sincere thanks, I begin a
series of posts thanking people, animals, places, things, words,
stories, and myriad other circumstances and incidents that have helped me end
homelessness.
This could take much longer than a
month. ::grin:
So get set ...
Get ready ...
GO!!!!!
The following posts titled "Thank You For Ending Homelessness: _________" are ON! (well, starting a bit later today, as I have to hobble to the library to return some books -- let's be honest, a lot of books. 30, unless I messed up my count. I had a lot of research I was doing ::grin::)
