I spoke to two people tonight and that was it. The first was my friend and hair stylist Greg...he is normally a very up person and our time together (my hair appointments) are usually loud obnoxious and fun...he owns the salon so f'it it's ok. Tonight he had a bunch of stuff under his skin that was festering and I had my own load of festering sadness. We talked and I listened. It's growing pains and a life moment that's stretching out for him. Part of it is the cost one pays for the road less traveled and this I understand. The energy was more introspective than normal, the vibe is always peaceful. G is a surfer and he carries that with him. He moves in time and in sync with the earth. It's a quality about him. But in contrast is the turmoil that he wrestles with, that which is himself seeking something that is beyond either his reach or his ability to "know" it.
I understand this because My own sense of nirvana eludes me too. Our battle cry is the same "cut me some slack".
In contrast I spoke to my sister this evening over the phone. She is a new mom struggling with the heart warming chaos of babies. Two of them. But yet in her voice was a sweet calm I had never heard in her before and I wondered with great awareness if this was the sound and vibration of having finally received the gift of a soul longing? Having finally had her complete dream come true? If so her voice sounded like it should feel. A deep sense of peace, and a centeredness of the soul. And I was happy for her.
And I wonder....
