What's it all about...Merely Me?
Well I'm glad you asked. I will tell you what it's all about Charlie Brown.
*It's about friendship.
*It's about love.
*It's about giving with no expectations of getting anything in return.
*It's about finding that place in yourself which grants you joy.
*It's about putting blinders on to the extraneous, the erroneous, the stuff which does not matter.
*It is about forgetting oneself, losing one's ego, and flying free.
* It's about dumping complexity and the unnecessary.
* It is about being simple.
* It is about writing for yourself...not for any audience...not for gold stars, not for bacoodles of empty praises from strangers who don't know you.
* It is about community.
* It is about being genuine and congruent.
* It is about true caring...not the kind which can be condensed into a great sounding cliche.
* It is about doing because you want to, because you choose to, not out of obligation, fear, or ego.
* It's about healing from within.
* It's about standing up for what you believe in a crowd.
* It is about being proud of yourself when there isn't anyone else to tell you.
* It is about feeling good about you regardless of kudos going to charlatains and fakers.
* It's about dignity and grace.
* It's about soul and integrity.
* It is about being small.
* It's about shining too...as you....in all your purity...not shining for limelight but because the light IS you.
* It's about being.
* It is about your path...the sharing and giving of all your gifts....with no ties...no expectations...no conditions.
* It is about being a DO instead of a want.
*It's about being quiet when the words run dry. It is about comforting oneself. It is about stillness when you feel afraid. It's about being okay with the empty and lonely spaces in your soul.
* It's about you. It's about me.
* It's about love.

Great post!
Inside the Man (author unknown)
(verse 1)
You looked so routine, just a regular guy
Viewed, but unseen, by the crowds passing by
So steady in faith, your heart beating true
Whatever you said, just as surely you’d do
No shading, hedging, or dodging for ease
Stolid for truth, won’t be changing to please
When we look at all those words, I look at this, we are bonded with words of love.
Thanks for posting a great post.
Hugs, Jim
I've fallen so far behind in my reading. I was racing along, trying to skim a few links to catch up and hit your prose. Oh my. *s* Well worth slowing down and reading. Again. Twice through, eyes of blue. *g*
Thank you so much for visiting my blog. :)
I read many posts tonight on your blog and have enjoyed them all. Not only are you a wonderful writer, but a very strong lady. You are dealing with a lot in your life and you stand strong.
You may never be a ballerina, but instead be someone very special, very unique, very strong and someone who teaches others through writing about your own experiences.
I enjoyed my stay here. :) Thank you once again.
Hi, Merelyme. Nice post.
I just read today from another friends' website:
"What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?
No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows:
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night:
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance:
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began?
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare." - WH Davis
Another fantastic post that has pulled me up short again.
When I read your posts about sharing, caring and concern, then re-examine my own basically introverted and selfish attitudes, I feel very humbled.
Thank you x
It's about being yourself alone or in a crowd.
Excellent. I wish that was tattooed on my memory, for easy reference.
