Social Media Can Be a Mixed Bag
Like the Bard said “Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”…
Social media can be a mixed bag, to say the least.
From Daily Bipolar by Meredith:
Woohoo! Social media. All the rage. The way to connect, network, make friends, link up, be social…like the social beings we are…ad nauseum.
Where would I be without social media? Well, I’ve talked about that briefly in an earlier post. But really, truly, I would be very alone and more crazy if there weren’t such a thing. Or I would be more in shape because I’d be getting out more just to get my social in. In my line of work, I sit at my own computer in my own house pretty much all day. Except tomorrow when I have a PT appointment and a meeting with a client, not in my house. Oh, and I’ll pick up the kids from school for the last time this year.
But social media has…

Do Not Be Ashamed
Tara Brach shared this poem with me:
You will be walking some night
in the comfortable dark of your yard
and suddenly a great light will shine
round about you, and behind you
will be a wall you never saw before.
It will be clear to you suddenly
that you were about to escape,
and that you are guilty: you misread
the complex instructions, you are not
a member, you lost your card
or never had one. And you will know
that they have been there all along,
their eyes on your letters and books,
their hands in your pockets,
their ears wired to your bed.
Though you have done nothing shameful,
they will want you to be ashamed.
They will want you to kneel and weep
and say you should have been like them.
And once you say you are ashamed,
reading the page they hold out to you,
then such light as you have made
in your history will leave you.
They will no longer need to pursue you.
You will pursue them, begging forgiveness.
They will not forgive you.
There is no power against them.
It is only candor that is aloof from them,
only an inward clarity, unashamed,
that they cannot reach. Be ready.
When their light has picked you out
and their questions are asked, say to them:
“I am not ashamed.” A sure horizon
will come around you. The heron will begin
his evening flight from the hilltop.
She did not share it with me directly, but rather through her series of meditation podcasts. This poem was wrapped in a meditation called Be All That You Are. You can listen to it here…
How would you answer the question “Who is God?”
A few months ago I had a reader contact me about a blog post I had written. Like a lot of my columns, it referenced God, and this particular person had a question that went something like this:
“I enjoyed your story but you didn’t answer the question: Who is God?”
It was a peculiar query, since this particular column wasn’t addressing the subject at all. Yet it got me thinking. Could I actually define God? Who is this entity that I pray to each morning, find solace in when the going gets tough, and thank for my many blessings?
I quickly realized I was opening the proverbial can of worms, as the question can be answered very differently depending on your personal religious and spiritual beliefs. And while I was raised a Catholic, which has helped form my spiritual base, my perspective on God comes from a rich tapestry of…
