ferineSo many clamor of hating each year. So many waste time and energy on loathing their lot in life, in singling their suffering out as greater, more substantial, than anyone elses.
Everyone has trials. Everyone suffers. In that, we are all equals.
Every year one survives is a good year. To continue, to keep moving, to keep dreaming, not to surrender despite what one faces, is to clutch to hope with stubborn ferocity. That stubborn ferocity is the spirit of the Wild, the energy, the ebb and flow of Nature, of Life.
With hope there is the will to go on. Joys abound unexpectedly when you look, and don't expect.
2009 has seen the transformation of some dear relationships. Initially I lamented what I perceived as a personal affront, an insult, and a loss. I now know such things are unavoidable with growing, changing, living beings.
On a related note, I've become much less tolerant of what I perceive as immature behavior in adults, and I've grown into my hermit lifestyle. I am picky and elitist with who I'll allow into my space. That definitely narrows my social circle, yet it's ultimately a good thing. I'm finally realizing that.
Without further ado, happy new year!
