Musical Spheres

So, you might have noticed that I have been all about me on this blog lately, and that gets to shift. I really get to be about the bigger picture starting now. Narcissism was fun, but it doesn't work. All I do when I'm in that space is get all constipated about what I'm doing wrong. So here are my new circles of energy, which I visualize as concentric spheres radiating from my solar plexus:

Me: Since I'm at the center of all this, here's how I get to shift. I get to let go of all this "I'm not big enough" ca-ca, and win big.

Family: I am, for once in a position to give to these people who have given so much to me. Fortunately, they are already in a pretty good energy, so I don't have to do it for them, but I am keeping a finger on each of their pulses.

Friends: I can't fight everybody's battles, but there are a select few whom, I am certain, I am meant to support and hold in a space of living their dreams. They know who they are, so I won't list them here. I will tell you this right now, though: I am not about pulling Susi or John through the keyhole anymore. I can't bring their committment to the table. In short, if you're going to be in my spcae, you get to live your dreams. Period.

Church: Since I have made the decision for Colorado Springs to be my city, there is no reason not to become an official member. Which means I can take an active hand on the Open and Affirming commitee, in the Gay Men's Chorus, and perhaps ushing or some other additional thing.

City: I have already declared that I am about lighting fires within people here, so I'll leave it at that.

State, Country: I shall take an active hand in Colorado and national politics.

World: I shall make a move toward a global culture, wherein each specific culture is treasured, but all humans are born free and equal in rights and dignity.

A really cool guy emailed me from out of the blue yesterday, and after chatting for a bit, he sent me an awesome poem, which included the line, 'Today I become a grinning maniac." So be it. A bit scary, isn't it?
