OK, just need to get this out there...
Someone really pissed me off yesterday!
With a very smug and condescending posting of a "Spiritual" nature in response to one of my status lines...
You know the kind of remark I am referring to...
We have all received them from time to time...
The oh, ever so subtle, self righteous "I am so in touch with The Absolute Truth of it All, and aren't you just the poor little unenlightened soul...well, maybe some day you will "get it" and catch up with me, on my coat tails as I ascend.." type of remark.
Now I am no saint...and I certainly don't pretend to know The Whole Truth...
On the contrary...there is so much more to the big picture, than I will ever understand or ever assume to be privy too...
I am just a flawed, floundering, but persistent seeker of the Presence and the Way...
Who is seeking like all of us are, my own little glimmer of Light...
My own expression of that spark of Divine Fire...
And who, from time to time, receives the guidance to share just a little piece of that Truth as I see it at the moment...
God, save me from my own self righteous indignation...
And friends, please virtually slap me, if I ever condescend so much as to assume I know who you really are, what you believe and where you are on your Path...
Ok back to my state of Pissedoffness,
Since I really didn't want to respond in kind,
and felt it would be better off let go.
I tried as I might to just dust it off into the well meaning ethers from whence it came....
But somehow I just couldn't release it...
It kept nagging at me all day...
And it was really bugging me that it was bugging me so much...
Can anyone relate here?...
Well, as has happened to me so many times in the past...
I did what any normal self respecting journalist would do
to quell the agitation that just won't go away...
I wrote.
And wrote and wrote and wrote...
And I got some amazing responses to my little diatribe, for my trouble...
So here is burning question number 8,295.
Why is it that I always do my best writing,
become more articulate and eloquent,
And come to some of my greatest AHA moments,
when someone else PISSES ME OFF!!!!!!
I am sure there is the subject for a new method on breaking through writers block,
in the belly of this little whale...
"The Pissed off factor, Way of the Muse"
Is there anyone else out there that can relate to this phenomenon, as well?
Inquiring minds want to know...:)
