I experienced a procedure the other day that, by all accounts, is not comfortable and unpleasant. The professionals who supported me through the procedure did their best to treat me with dignity, and I love them for it. This is not about them…
I approach, and often embrace, the weird daily. I enjoy weird ideas, points of views, and exploring weird world views. I find taboo fascinating, and I love a contrarian take. I am not accustomed to weird invasive medical procedures though… that’s a first for me… and I noticed something that helped, prostrating myself before the weird, embracing it, and welcoming it into my life with a cheerful heart.
So much of life’s weirdnesses and ackwardnesses can be assuaged and cooled with a cheerful and fun loving heart. I reminded myself that eventually I will die, and to allow this weird thing to bother me is absurd. And when you embrace the absurdity of life you quickly begin to laugh and find the funny in it.
Life affords so many opportunity for humor and cheer. I am thankful I find more and more opportunities daily to embrace those moments. Not only does it enhance my enjoyment of the weird, it helps others step through life a little bit less stressfully too.
Life’s short.
Don’t take yourself too seriously.
At one point we all shit our beds, gurgled our food, got caught with our pants down, and walked over to our neighbor's house with a proton pack on and offered to clean their homes of ghosts… what you never did that?
