Prophylaxis
I get it! I can understand what i'm reading!Second time around perhaps is the charm?
Or is it because i took a shot of vitamins this morning?
I am prophylactically treating myself with a power house of vitamins since all the signs and symptoms of a cold are manifesting trying to attack this host. Not a chance i say. Well i think it's working. And i think one of the side affects is hyperfocus-sation. haha.
what am i thinking these days? besides school and anxiously anticipating the end of this bloody semester (no pun intended) my thoughts often are occupied with things such as life and learning and how to get through. what seasons bring and what seasons take and what to do in between.
in between.
i love what Emily Dickinson says.."Where thou art, that is home"
even if its an unsettling place? an emotionally challenging adventure? A painful process of learning a lot about oneself... and finding yourself shouting back to the Universe.. OK! i get it! alright.
Or..i don't get it..
I was also reminded of this verse today. it just popped in my head. I love the bible among other pieces of literature for it's poetic and profound writings that truly do bring comfort. to me at least.
I've been thinking about time. so of course this verse i pursued.
Ecclesiastes 3
"For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace. "
i think of time as life.. not just giving life time..but giving time LIFE.
so that maybe our soul can... like Dickinson also writes; " stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.
