Connection….
Words are like a drop in the Ocean it seems.  They melt and they mold into each other, often becoming lost in a sea of emotion, misunderstanding, mistrust or misjudgement.  Like an ocean, as words grow deeper and continue to be spoken, it can be hard sometimes to span the gap that can occur between the two, and the depth of those spoken seems almost impossible to make ones way through.
… But then we come to a word like connection.  So simple in thought, so innocent and naive, and one wonders at times… why can’t we all think of words like this a bit more often?  Are we too lost in our own thoughts, our own wounds, ideas, religions, ideologies to see that the connection we have (as a species) is worth more than any of the other words we may put in our way?
It is a hard thing, I know, especially when emotion takes over, even easier still for one whom may not be directly effected.  So easy for one to sit on the outside looking in and make observations on others (but at times this is the best thing for both sides…. an objective perspective.
 (For me), it seems that to connect is to be and to be is to understand that we are all connected (in some way), and that connection is not one that comes without work, sacrifice and understanding.  It also comes with the knowledge of wrongs of the past, and hurt of each other and a relative look at the big picture of every situation.  So why not try and make that connection more positive (for both sides)… even if just for a few moment in time.
At the end of the day you will probably feel better, and be all the better for understanding this connection, or at the very least you may see that while your world is important, your not the only one in it and that the connection we have, the connection we share is something that takes hard work, nourishment and tending, and if this does not occur our connection can be easily swept away in the vast Ocean of all that is spoken…..

I don’t think we are in Kansas anymore Toto (or Texas, as the case may be)…. This picture confirms what I had long feared.  When the Right of the Jewish theology and the Right of the Christian join arms you know THAT is the true sign of the apocalypse.  I think they are planning the smackdown of Tom Cruise. (over a meal of kosher of course), that or the menorah candles are a metaphor demonstrating how many jobs are left in America, and how their wacked out religious alliance can bring that number up to … nine!!!!!

Ponderingthoughts..

About

Just what exactly is Ponderingthoughts all about. In a nutshell it is about...life.

Contradictions (through words) are the basis of much of our thought process, and what drives me at many times to continue my quest to see, read, hear and learn as much as I can about this speciies that calls itself human. I love the study of the use of words and how they connect to thought.

It often amazes me how much two opposite sides are alike (in terms of what they ultimately seek).... it is the journey to get there that causes the conflicts/misunderstandings and contradictions.

I say what I mean, think what I say... and understand it is all self-important bullsh@t at the same time. Did I say bullsh@t?! I meant, MY truths... and being I am a human they may often seem like a contradiction.

I invite people to comment, and join the conversation, for my purpose here is also to hear from all of you, and to have others hear you as well. One thing I do ask is if when commenting you could refrain from using profanity. Of course I use it in my life, but dropping the F bomb to prove ones point seems pointless in a real conversation. Respect and thanks.

All thought derives from somewhere (I believe) it is rare anymore that we have a TOTALLY new thought (comments?), so I never actually think "wow, my thoughts are so new, so individual" They are... thoughts. Mashes of all I see, hear, read, study and experience.... They are all of you.

My purpose for this blog is to share my thoughts (based on all things I see, hear, read, do and so forth), and to also post ideas from others greater than me in their thinking (to which I would give the credit)

To those whom may read my randomness, I thank you... you honor me. Thought I probably will not reply to comments posted about what I post, I highly encourage all to add their own ideas to whatever I may post. That in itself is a main purpose of this blog... to keep the conversation going. Like-mindedness is not necessary (for me) to engage in thought and sharing and I always enjoy reading the thoughts of others... agreement or not.
