Maybe it’s foolish/nonsensical/naive, but I have come to believe the greatest rewards require no inward effort and/or cost to be paid–that despite whatever occurs in the outward sense (the appearance of strife, agony, incredible strain), we can inwardly harmonize with a greater part of ourselves, and that alignment will gift us with an unending abundance of possibility, synchronicity, and opportunity.

  1. I remember reading something similar from you a while back about “inward effort” Or am I mistaken?

    1. You’re probably not mistaken. I text these to myself and don’t keep track of redundancy, so I’m sure they turn out similar in many cases.

      1. I think I remembered it because I enjoy reading your reflections. Your posts in “Musings” are always interesting to read.

  2. Certainly not naive, Imo. Though I think it’s possible that what appears foolish or nonsensical might bring us that alignment too. And some senses of humor do have the appearance of strife, agony and incredible strain. Still, as a great Dane said,’There are things that are so serious you have to laugh at them.’ Otherwise he was a great Bohr. But in a world made of language, good allegorical sci-fi is the prophesy of past, future and present enrichment of body, mind and whatever else we may be.

      If the Great Dane starts waxing philosophical, give the goo boy a scooby snack! 🦴

  3. I think that’s a difficult place to get too…. (at least for me it is….)

  4. Well said. As hard as it may be to align inwards, look inwards and embrace our true selves, it sure does usher in peace.

  5. Here’s hoping!

  6. Well said.
