The kindest decision I ever made for myself was to stop keeping track of
all I had lost. The choice was made mostly for the efficacy of the
matter. I mean, who had the time and the commitment, and how exactly
does one measure the lack, the empty spaces, that imprint in that heart
and demonstrate in the world as the space between a reaching hand and an
unreachable thing? And the cruelest choice I keep making is to lose
track of all of the love I have in my life and all the kindness
offered to me endlessly. I guess this is whatever amounts to the
winnings in life? And I could say it is not accounted for, or kept track
of due to the same strain of laziness that lets the other end fall to
the wayside, but the truth is, i have no idea how to say thank you. I
have neither the measuring tool to account for the love and kindness,
nor the language of gratitude for properly meeting it, nor true
understanding of why it should be offered to me, personally. And
therein lies the confusion-- It is not personal. None of this is
personal! If I can clarify anything for you beautiful soul of mine,
within, and without of me, it is that none of this is personal. We are
bits of ourselves, loving ourselves in the form of others. Let it be as
personal as that. So let you thank you and let you forgive you, and let
the accountants only mind the accounts. Your precious heart was not
made for accounting. Only for finding and growing in and out of itself
and loving onward, forever and ever. Amen.
And if it matters at all
to you, my precious capitalist friend, I have the suspicion, if we had
kept track, we would be immensely ahead in our winnings. Because I know
confidently that in the end, we will rest comfortably and assuredly in
loving arms.
