Connectivity pt II

The question was posed by one of my "friends" on Facebook, what was Facebook's purpose--or at minimum should, what is being posted be taken so literal, or is it just clean fun? Well, my response (give or take) was that everyone has a different intent as to why they use Facebook, which I whole-heartedly believed at the time of the post.

However, as of recent, I've been in deep thought about connectivity and it's purpose, as well as it's contribution to overall good health--it dawned on me, that clearly there's a universal reason that people, flock to Facebook. And, there is an equally important (and still, universal) reason why people participate in it--everyone (either subconsciously or consciously) is seeking to be connected.

Even, if you're simply networking to promote your next party, cd, or whatever the case may be, you're seeking to be connected with more people. I'm wondering, beyond monetary gain (for those conducting business on Facebook), if there is anything else that's moving about the experiences shared on this addictive, haven/hell?

I tell you there is something innately embedded within us, that yearns to be connected. As, I continue to explore and research connectivity...I'll be sure to post my findings.

Namaste...

Connectivity

I remember while being a little girl, I believed this world to be such a huge mass. It felt as if I was a tiny speck in the midst of the unknown; and I believed I would continue to feel that way for the duration of my life. Even though, while being taunted by other children, I would respond, "we're sisters and brothers in God's way...", however, I didn't fully understanding the words that fell off of my lips. As, I aged, I must admit that I continued those feelings and it wasn't until a few years ago, that I really began to understand the magnitude of what I believe to be God's plan.

While, evolving (continuously) and removing religion from the equator, I've learned on my spiritual journey that we ALL are inter-connected. I believe, that we were created to learn from one another and to assist in the love, peace and guidance of our fellow siblings. The quote, "each one, teach one" is poignant and rings utter truth; it should not be taken lightly. It is important, however, to be open to receive the light, love and truth. God, resides in EVERY living being--and all every living being desires is love, to be understood and appreciated.

Humans have placed so much emphasis on differences, nationality and ethnicity, when in the greater scheme of things, those very differences are to bring us closer to one another and to help enlighten us. We are supposed to recognize the differences to gain the lesson(s) and friendship. Instead, we notice the differences and allow those to create division, when in fact that is the complete opposite of the unified message that was part of God's plan.

When, I think of all of the various individuals and places here on earth, it reminds me of a well put together quilt. Quilts, are created with random pieces of cloth and thread--with loving hands, hearts and spirits. And, the ultimate outcome produces comfort and warmth to the masses. So, with that said, I challenge everyone to invite someone/something different into his/her realm of "normalcy".

Since, I've been away!

In my absence from the blogging world, I've simply been living. I decided, to not blog until my entries carried a different tone. Like, most artists I walked away from my passion, temporarily to love, live and laugh (I'm sure that isn't the way it's usually stated, but that's the order in which I live my life)!

I'm genuinely happy and it increases daily--school is challenging, but nonetheless great! I've nestled, cozily with my family and I have a handful of folks that are my friends, that love me in spite of myself, quirks and all.

I'm simply loving the people, places and things that I've surrounded myself with. I'm not saying that my life is perfect, as it will never be--but beyond that, I'm not sure I'd want my life to reflect perfection. With that said, I'd like to leave this entry on a "beautiful" note...

Beauty Mark

Beauty surrounds us all day everyday; we are mainly naive

We allow it to escape us every 7 seconds

The slightest glimpse obscures better judgment; allowing emerald, cuts so deeply

We often forget to embrace our Father’s ideas…instead implanting and nurturing these

of despair, shame, guilt, and envy…instead of noticing our own beauty.

Beauty is by design and creation + love and devotion.

Hence, our Creator, fashions absolute splendor.

Embrace your internal beauty; feel fabulous about thee

Breathe…. and appreciate all of life’s beauty.
