more to chew on...

hmmm… just vibing on soul’s comment to “just chattin”… too much to say to reduce it to a mere reply so here I go…

ok. funny thing is soul, i didn’t realize that i was “choosing” an order > love. family. friendships. relationships. aren’t they all one? just different branches of the same tree? and that being the case, do YOU really “choose” any or does each one choose you at different stages of your journey?

i think there is much beauty in the complexity of life… that it was the Creator’s intention to afford so many possibilities to even the simplest of things... life is about EVERYTHING you questioned and then some… it’s ALL of that & each "piece" is ripe with its own layers.

it is up to us to find a way {the journey} to make LIFE {love. family. friendships. relationships} manifest in the order for which the UNIVERSE intends…

i say that because i often find myself wanting life to lineup in pretty, neat lil lines... in some sort of 'fairytale-ending' kinda-way & it just ain't like that!

life has to be worked thru. issue by issue. challenge by challenge. lesson by lesson. i often think the more i learn the less i really know.

yep... just one, big, open-ended equation with infinite possibilities!:-)

Peace & OM!:-)

ahh mechie
hmmm, (thinking). the order isn't necessarily important, it is more the actual interpretation of the words...
i.e.
if life = X + Y + Z
what is X? What is Y? and What is Z?

I was thinking along the lines that X, Y and Z are variables? and their 'actual values' vary depending on whose life and how that person defines 'life'.

And I think that's you are saying as well, when you say 'each piece has it's own layers'.

For instance, is family necessarily 'blood relations' or the family you make by forming bonds with peole, i.e. people who nurture a certain aspect of you and vice versa.

i like you ALWAYS want life to line up in pretty neat lines, and i found that I chased the fairytale, while life itself laughed at my naivity.
In some regards, I am still chasing the fairytale, but the fairytale has changed, the outcome or expected outcome has changed.

i understand what you are saying, and more and more I agree that life does indeed need to be worked through issue by issue, and challenge by challenge. i guess in someways I'm still looking for guidance. (I used to be scared to say that)

The more I think about this, the more it seems like mathematics. with different variables, but constant coefficients. (now even I am flabergasted at this strain of thought)
Mechie. We have much to discuss. (smile)
