We do without doing, and everything gets done
Today is one of those days when I just want to give everybody a big, smothering hug. Maybe it's just because the is year rushing away from us, and we always seem to look back and go "it was different then".
This year, we'll say goodbye to a lot of things. Most changes end in a step forward, or a progression of some kind, at least -- now more than ever, I have to remember this. I've left school now, and its strange that I'm equally afraid to be out of there as I am excited to be out of there. I suppose now I can't blame any screw-ups on anyone but me... so the teachers can once again rest easy X)
I asked my Runes what to remember when I reflect upon 2008, and I drew Othila reversed (upside-down). It reads;
"Now is not a time to be bound by old conditioning, old authority. Consider not only what will benefit you but also what will benefit others -- total honestly is required. Remember, 'we do without doing, and everything gets done'."
It's a thinker... but it makes sense.
So w0rd out to all the people doing it tough right now, in small or many ways, quietly, privately, openly... I'm sending you love.
'If I could tell the world just one thing
It would be, "we're all okay"
And not to worry, coz worry is wasteful
And useless in times like these...'
PS. Sometimes, there are things you feel like you just can't talk about openly, or can't find the words, or don't even feel like you trust anyone enough. A site I've made use of before can be found just over here; Group-Hug -- where you can confess to anything or vent about whatever, totally and utterly anonymously. No need to sign up, enter a name, location, or credit-card number... just write in the box and press submit.
As you'll see on the confessions page (when curioisity finally overwhelms you to read what others have written), you needn't worry about spelling, punctuation or politcal correctness. Just write until you feel better =)
And perhaps you'll find that your bad day isn't so bad after-all, when you read things like;
"I was born with a tail."
