Is it time to move beyond the concept of “difference” as a defining factor in a person’s life? Yes: I think now of celebrating the common like meeting at the Commons–a public park in Boston–where everyone shares space.
We all share space on Earth–on one hand we can embrace difference yet on the other I say isn’t it time to worship the invisible threads that connect human beings.
How most of us want to love and be loved; how all of us hurt and have pain; how we all experience joy.
I want to write about these invisible threads.
Why do so many of us feel like we’re different? Who else is the barometer of “normal” that we’re looking at and deeming ourselves to be different from?
Popular media glorifies same-ness. it celebrates what’s accepted and shuts out the individual.
I’ve championed going on over nine years in my blogging that a person does their own thing and does their own think.
We are individuals. It’s time to rejoice in our beauty.
The Saturday night entertainment at the educational conference was the band Flame. I bought their CD with the song “Someone Like You.”
One rain-haired woman danced and shook a musical stick.
The lead singer started off with “Brown-Eyed Girl.”
They are a professional band. I urge you to go on the Flame website and see and hear the beauty.
