They call it writers' block, and yeah, every time I sit down lately, and bring up this blog, my mind goes completely blank. I am befuddled, becalmed, tongue-tied (or would that be finger-tied?), my brain is frozen, couldn't find a decent thought if my life depended on it, etc., etc. What's wrong with me? No clue. Maybe I need to shake my world up a bit. See things differently. Try to find a new perspective on things.
Let's face it, the world is pretty much the same. But my view of the world is stuck in a rut the size of the Grand Canyon. Maybe I've been human for too long. I should probably switch places with Eddie for awhile. Better yet, how about I trade consciousness with a wild bird. I could spend some time in a tree. I haven't done that since I was young teenager. That could inspire a new outlook on the world. Or, if I was an eagle, I could perch in high places, and view things from a completely new kind of perspective. That could be interesting. And that's not even considering the actual experience of sailing through the skies on feathered wings. I think I would really find that an incredible experience. And for me, being bird would have the added bonus of being self-pity free. Birds don't feel sorry for themselves. Humans spend too much time indulging in that particular occupation. At least I do.
Of course, that would assume I could actually find a bird that would wish to trade places. I don't think it would be easy. I mean, I'm human, and many times when I look at the behavior of some of the other humans I share the world with, I'm not sure I want to be.
There are a lot of good people out there, however. Once in a while, one of them is in the news, and there is the Ellen Show, which has more than its fair share of very decent people ,and is good for a spiritual lift (or a lifting of the spirit if you prefer). Of course, I am a very lucky fella' in the wonderful human beings department, because I get to see and meet quite a few through my work with Literacy Volunteers. So, yeah...there are some amazing people out there. And as far as I can tell, none of them are Republicans, or belong to the NRA.
Anyroad. Don't remember where I heard or read this, but to quote, Today is life. It's the only life we have. Make the most of it.
So, whatever you're doing, get on with it. Be well, and treat yourself and others as best you can.
