Let It Walk

 Standing up is not the easiest thing to do. Imagine being a baby.. it is not like we all of a sudden rose straight legged with a bolstering power that enabled a strong stride to wherever our little baby feet wanted to go... No, no, no, no!!! We started off small. We rocked ourselves back and forth, we observed our surroundings, we sat up tall, crawled or scooted our little baby butts about... possibly holding our parents hand and then over time we started one step at a time; moving ourselves in a direction that our body gravitated too. I have always wondered about baby shoes and what they are honestly needed for? If they are all about keeping little wee toes warm, I would suggest doubling up on baby socks. It would bring the costs down. However, that is a side thought. 
 What I am really trying to get at is: Standing up for something that a person believes in, needs to say or is driven to do takes time. There may be moments of anxiety, fear, anticipation, frustration, hope, joy, exhaustion and finally peace. Peace that the time has come to do what you need to do that makes you, you! Sometimes, I hear people say, "I have no idea where that came from!" but I am under the assumption that movement has always been in motion. The steps may have been inconsistent, irrational, quiet or shuffled but they were there non-the-less... making way for "The Moment!"
 I find it amazing that as beings in this existence there is this unshakable "knowing-ness". It can be difficult to explain and sadly it can be exploited; however, when the true "knowing" presents itself there is a confidence and understanding that walk hand in hand. There is a look in a person's eye that says "this is important" and for that life to move on while being a better person in anothers "this" has to be dealt with. My dad calls this the "it" that binds, and when the "it" is gone freedom is found. Every persons 'thing' may be completely counter to the next persons, but I feel that we understand what surrounds it and  can sense the lightness that proceeds after it's weight has been expelled. 
 Feelings are feelings but, holy shit balls, can they ever weigh a ton. Thankfully, we live in a reality where free will exists and there are so many options that we can become extremely creative in the way that we release and deal with our issues.............. The more we overcome ourselves the more we understand others can overcome themselves. 
 I keep noticing statements like "we need to believe in ourselves"... My question is... what if someone believes that they are utter shit? Do we want them to believe that? or do we want people to believe in the greatness that lives within all of us? Some days the goodness may feel dormant, but the more we dig, the deeper we go, the more we know there is a little bit of stardust in all of us! Which explains why we can be a little spacey from time to time.
