Caught in a Landslide, No Escape From Reality

Ironic... it's a lyric. But still, hmm, ironic. It seems like most people are escaping from reality at every turn.
I guess the truth is that eventually "reality" catches up with the worst of us. The issue is that most of us consider reality to be the economic circumstance, or our health, or the ozone layer. What if none of that has anything to do with reality whatsoever? Then what?
We were driving in to Bellevue for the Black Cat Ball. The kids were all quite cutely costumed. I went the formal route. The discussion was pertinent to spirituality... but on an interesting teen topic. The sun was setting and perfect. And a favorite song came up on the radio...
That all may sound like a happy family moment of today's Courier and Ives. But, there's something more. I get to feel that in a "spiritual sense". Sometimes spine tingling does the trick... and sometimes I get the feeling of my heart growing and heating and glowing all at once. This time it was the latter. I love those moments. I love feeling so very connected to something beyond what passes as reality. I love the true Reality.
Caught in a landslide? Yep. Everyone might say that about existence, the economy, the daily challenges, the arguments, the bills. But the landslide I think of is the constant pouring of the obvious nature of an Eternal Source. A landslide of synchronicities. A landslide of opportunities. A landslide of knowledge and growth and challenges. A landslide of beauty and all encompassing love.
I have no idea what Queen was implying with the lyrics. But I know what it means to me. I am grateful for the young adults in my life. I am grateful for the experiences. I am so grateful for the challenges that bring me to new awareness every day. I pray that you are too : ) I have so much to be thankful for...

Your blogs are bi polar………. You are having high highs and low lows. Or I guess it could just be transformation. LOL I live for those moments too. Usually it is with my cats. Sad but true. :)
You're being hilarious, but you're also right on the mark (should I be medicated?… I won't do it, but you can all vote if you want, exercise your first amendment rights).
Ok, so yep, you see two different versions of me… as I struggle, in two different ways. One thing is the paradox ordeal, where there are two sides of truth. And the other more powerful thing that you see is that I dance in and out of connected consciousness. It isn't really that easy of a game to play. I think everyone does it some, but as the time amounts/insights increase, it's harder to be “out” of it. That's my interpretation anyway. It's not easy at all, and it swings things like a pendulum. Presumably, some day, “I” will get sick of the swing somehow, and will be willing to surrender the “I” in favor of the Oneness. If I don't lose it, mentally/emotionally/suicide style first….
The swinging eventually stops. When it does, it is no longer a struggle and you can relax.
I am against medication unless you absolutely have no other options.
I love that you can blog from the lyrics of Bohemian Rhapsody. LOL
Easy come, easy go… It doesn't really matter much to me… : )
Too late,my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Bodys aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-Ive got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
