Without

We have so many things that just are in life, that you never think to see it any other way. Everything we do has just been, and we do it without question. When we challenge the same old, or when someone asks us to see it another way, it is so foreign. My dad used to do that, and now my son does. Why do we have time change, why do we have calendars? What if there is a parallel universe? What if we removed money as a motivator?

I recently decided not to be buried. It is totally out of character for me. I always assumed I would go in the ground and have even tried to narrow down where my final resting place would be. This fall, after standing at my Dad’s grave, it just came to me. I would never want my people to stand at a stone and look for answers. To have some place that you are pulled to, or feel guilt about not going to. My dad is not there! I have gone, looking for solace, refuge and maybe even found it. I do not need his grave to find it. A picture or a memory can do the same. Mostly I feel loss standing there.

I want to give blood and donate my organs and my ideas always seem to take others by surprise. I like different and I like practical. I am always dreaming up foundations to help others. Usually ones that would be created after the times in my life that were hardships. Life changing moments that you know others will experience. Wouldn’t it be nice to be part of the solution, in someone’s dilemma? It starts with one, right?

Maybe in a parallel universe, there is a version of my self doing that right now. Did you know that New Years used to be mid March, and that some countries don’t have daylight savings time? If money prevents us from doing grandiose gestures that could help our fellow man, perhaps the elimination of money and just a person’s desire to do good, would make this and all of us better people! We can do more, and for this family Be More.
