It takes courage. At least for me, it's going against the grain.
I have been reading A Real Life by Ferenc Mate. He is a bit angry. Very funny. He really sheds light on our twitter, flitter world. He looks at the consequences of television, video games, i-this, i-that, dishwashers (and not the two-legged kind), clothes dryers, food, cars, and all that stuff that well, isn't really conducive to living a real life. A real life of talking to your neighbours, hugging, absorbing what someone is actually saying, if we talk face to face. I am loving what he shows me. And I want to live a life with meaning. Not a lofty do-gooder meaning......I feed the poor.......I gave to that cause......I volunteer for such and such - but a simple, moment by moment, what's in front of me now to do, kind of meaning. Listening. Breaking bread with those closest to me. Thoughtfulness. Compassion. Kisses and cuddles. Intimacy - the kind you have when you take the time to really deeply share with another. Or the kind you have in the quiet times with yourself.
