Loving Life, Weird or Not Weird, or The Big Sweet Unknown

Sometimes things are boring
sometimes we are bored
sometime we bore ourselves
by not being present to the ongoing amazing
brightness of now

Oh well

And then
sometimes
people are strange or
make us
"uncomfortable"
or strike us as
"weird"

And that's an interesting place,
eh?

Because sometimes "uncomfortable"
means we are cluing into
something that would be clever
to avoid

but more often it means:
this is my program
and this behavior isn't what my program is used to
and instead of being
curious
and realizing we are out of the
present
we want to "get out of here."

And this all has something to do
with being in Austin
with it's slogan:
"Keep Austin Weird."

Which means:
let the people who don't
"fit in"
be honored citizens
or the sort that
the holy fools
once were

and it's April Fool's day
and
no fooling:
fooling around is good for
us
but since we don't know what we're doing
when
we
fool
around
then, it might edge out into weirdness

and other people can take this as
entertainment
or
food
or
possibility

or they can take it
as
some strangeness to be avoided

and
"strange" too
like all the above
weird
and uncomfortable
can just tell us:
hey,
this isn't in the robot's programming

calm down
make sure you are physically safe
and the other stuff
look at like this:
your rut/ ego/ pattern/ conditioning
is
a bit frightened

oh well
take a deep breath
and think of how much fun
YOU
could have if you were a bit
foolish
silly
strange
weird
unpredictable

today

or
any
day

good
