This is one of my more recent works. It's rediculous. I like it. Ths message snuck up on me, and has been near impossible for me to shake. "We all fit". Why does my mind disagree? Somedays all day I seem to be trying to convince myself that everything is exactly as it is supposed to be. Everyone is doing exactly what they are supposed to. It seems like this should be obvious. Still I can sell myself on the idea that if somebody else did something different than what they are currently doing I would be happy, or at least more at ease. I turn this beast on myself more than anybody else. If I were somewhere else, doing something other than what I am doing right now I'll tell myself that then, under those circumstances I'd feel better.
The truth seems to me that if I can not accept myself right now under the present circumstances, then I probably won't have any more success accepting some alternate version of myself living under different circumstances. Same goes for my comfort levels with other people. We all are sharing this planet, town, room, parking lot, road, whatever.......All versions of these experiences are real. I live with them. If I can find peace with that right now, here, I feel that I might be OK.

Hell yeah!! For me it's finding balance in loving and accepting here and now, and action to grow and evolve towards something more.
