| | Though sometimes I think man wonders who he's connected to, because the people around him look like they're floating on a completely different ocean.
I just was looking over my MySpace friends list, and realizing how long it's been since I've talked to some people. It threw into stark contrast the fact that you can't talk to everyone, all the time. To spend more time with one person is to spend less time with others. A shame, when you want to spend more time with them all.
Then I thought how... well no one is an island. I'm constantly amazed at how connected people are. Ever noticed how it seems with few exceptions, a lot of your friends and family will go through good and bad times together. Now is one of those exceptional times where everyone I know is ... somewhere different. Some are coming out of really rough times and enjoying themselves in the light. Others had been doing pretty good and getting things figured out, only to have the hammer dropped on their lives. A few were in the darkness and responded with yet more fear and blame. And then there a few people like me who, despite both good and bad times, are constantly moving on to another victory. Trust me, that's possible. I was born special, but so were you. Kicking life's butt is easy once you learn the secret.
It makes me feel so good to be so deeply connected with people. To be at the same place spiritually and emotionally. It's like the essence of life. And then I'll turn around and talk to someone who... I couldn't even begin to empathize with what's happening to them. It's so strange. It's like two places connected by a bridge, and while you turned around to do something else, that bridge burned down. You can see what's going on, but lack the power to cross over and get involved. And as I just said that, I'm seeing how that applies to a lot of different situations. Many and more are the reasons humans don't get involved. More's the pity.
You know what's really strange is the music I listen to while I'm typing all this out. You think I'd be listening to praise and worship or some catchy pop song. But no, 'tis Metallica. *laughs*
Well I'd appreciate your prayers, as always. I got a few decisions up ahead and I need His wisdom to discern what to do and the timing of several different events. Much thanks.
