IS

First, I want to add that it is out with the old and in with the new. There's no need for clutter. What is clutter? It's all that social noise going on that says I will not be accepted because I have emotions, and needs that might not align with you. It's the political noise that says I cannot be who I am because you might find me offensive. It is the religious noise that would outcast me for being a believer, non-believer, or anything in between simply because whatever God(s) you choose to follow or not follow want you to believe I am an infidel.

You are who you are because of choice and perhaps, inarguably, at least a certain degree of predestination. It is because of your life that mine is affected. Whether you are the service attendant in Europe who was slow to fuel a car that prevented someone from receiving an email from someone who was communicating with a business which might sell an item a neighbor of a friend might be needing, causing them to borrow from my friend...who in turns tells me of their daily sundries. There are ripples in life, and choices will be made to affect each of those ripples regardless of choosing, or opting to avoid a decision altogether. Such is life as it is. And it is.

I am who I am for all the same reasons as above, but I am aware that no matter who you are in this world, or where you live for that matter, your choices today somehow affect me. Perhaps not within the next 5 minutes, but most definitely SOMEHOW within the span of my life.

There is an energy on this earth that we must accept. It is simply what IS. I don't know what that means, or even how you will interpret it based on where this blog travels and who you are, but I cannot deny that everything has a purpose. In one way or another, living or not, IS ...is affected.

I am who I am. You are who you are. From the perspective of the Book of J, consider this.

I am.

To all of you...LIFE, from me.
