CleanUP: WTpH?

Hey boys and girls...I am teaching chemistry over at The Renegade Farmer today. Class starts...now! Hurry. Take your seats...

And if by some chance you missed my rant last fall about daylight savings. You can catch up on that with a little post I like to call...

Ugh! (almost) Utterly Useless...

"Uuuuuhhhmm...As usual, I am a day late and at least 2 or 3 dollars short. Yesterday was AlphabeThursday over at the Matlock School For Syllabary Obsessed Bloggers. But alas...I missed it, which means, likely no one will read this.  Which is too bad for me, because I need help. And not just the kind of help that I usually need.

You see, I have this little notebook. I write little notes to myself because I am so old smart and have so much useless important information in my brain that I cannot possibly be expected to remember all of it, so...I write it down.  Problem: I wrote a great tidbit of wisdom that I wanted to blog about and now cannot figure out what it means! It is profound and I am sure that at the moment that the idea struck me, thoughts were flowing, planets were aligning and the universe and I were one.  But the lightbulb was a fast burning one and now the note is almost useless.  Perhaps you can figure it out...

"BE" remarkable. Influence for good.  There is not my truth/your truth--only one truth--manifest differently.  Beethoven through his piano, Picasso through his brush, Blake through his ben.  All one truth--truth is eternal/light/Spirit.
Ok. So there it is.  Nice huh? It is not to say I do not know what it means precisely.  I just do not know where I was going with it.  I like the thought though.  I want to expand it, and I will keep pondering it so that I can, but in the meantime...any ideas?

I like the idea of the "BE" remarkable...as apposed to "ACTING" remarkable. To me there is a huge difference between Being something and Acting in a certain way.  AM I virtuous, honest, kind or loving? Or do I just Act that way?  It is more an internal part of us rather than merely an outward expression of something we want to be.  In my mind though, it is ok to behave a certain way until it becomes ingrained in us and part of our being. Fake it till you make it...ya know? Each of us is so remarkable in our own way. In our own right.  We are children of God. Unique and individual. All that is good in the world comes from Him, through us.  All Truth, all Light. But each of us expresses that in a different way.  Through art, music, words, smiles, food, photographs, kindness, sympathy, science, crafts, decorating, raising children, farming, gardening or loving. Plus a million other talents and endeavors as unique and important as each of us.

So, any thoughts? Sorry for the disjointed jumble of ideas today.  I wanted to get something down on "paper" today while I had the chance.  Thanks for listening...
