Here he is on a decidedly different day. How could he possibly get almost every pin in the webelos book. Every pin! I wonder if this day was more emotionally saturated or the day he wouldn't play another note? My sneaking suspicion is that the blues feel deeper than the joy. I may be wrong. Is it in our mortal DNA to let the blues infiltrate our every cell? Can we let our joy fill us equally full?
I would like to hold space for that desire. Today I felt that joy creeping up my spine and I wanted to bottle the feeling. Breathe deep! Breathe the blues away!
I write on Fridays with a large group who inspire me. Only five minutes and without much thought to perfection. I write, prompted by one word that sends my thoughts to the keyboard and hopefully make sense.
Oh what a great post. Great job he is doing. Sometimes we all 'play the Blues'. What a perfect post.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by and seeing me too. It was nice to meet you.
Lovely words and thoughts. I do feel the tension - it's almost like the wider the chasm between our highs and lows, the more space we have to live in. I wouldn't do without either extreme.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, loved it. I agree that it's easier to feel blue than joy but when we train ourselves for joy, it becomes easier to sustain that for longer. {So glad you had a joy-full day!}....here's to breathing the blues away!
ReplyDeleteI often wonder why I feel the blues more deeply than the joy. It's a conundrum. 😊
