One of my sisters is the best meanderer, in thr entirety of this whole wide world. She can take a ten minute conversation and turn it into a megafest of goodness, of love, of laughs, of truths.
Today, I thoroughly enjoy a good meander. Times past, meandering used to drive me cra cra. I used to be, still am, I think, a get to the point kind of gal. Get to the point, I was forever shouting, in my head, while folks whiled and winded their way through long winded conversations.
Yet, big sis paid not two hoots to my huffy, my puffs, my hemms and my hawws. Nope, sis would just sit, quietly, meandering through this process, through that memory. She would glide through scenes, carefully make her way through endlessly infinite scenarios.
Until, finally, fighting her all the way through, I learned to enjoy the journey. In fact, half the time I would forget what the world had started the meandering, in the first place.
I thank her, today, for showing me how to live, in the moment, in the conversation, not giving two hoots about where we would end up.
Turns out, we ended up not ending up anywhere. Yet, ended said conversation filled with joy and anticipation for the next.
God and Life have been incessantly trying to get me to understand that it’s about the journey, stupid. And, before you start hollering about me saying the word stupid, calm down. I know I am not stupid. I just do dumb things, from time to time. As do you. The title just makes me 😂.
I love to laugh at me, now. I didn’t, before. Until, I learned how to meander. Until, I learned the point, of the journey, was in the journey, itself.
We will never get there. There will ALWAYS be a THERE. THERE is what:
Keeps us, moving.
Keeps us, hopeful.
Keeps us, dreaming.
Keeps us, reaching.
Keeps us, trying.
Keeps us, keeping on.
Keeps us, writing.
Keeps us, living.
Keeps us, loving.
THERE helps us, in the meantime, to keep on moving, hoping, reaching, trying, keeping on, writing, living, loving, in the meantime.
Enjoy the journey, beloveds. Enjoy, a good yak. Enjoy, a good book. Enjoy, a good walk. Enjoy, the bumps in the road. Enjoy, stumbling. Enjoy, Fallin flat on your face. Enjoy, laughing at yourself as you stumble and fall flat on your face.
Get after it.
getting after it with you,
Cassandra
