It Dawned On Me...

It

Then there are the times when you think, or you’ve been told that you don’t get it. Someone told someone else I don’t get it. No one knows if he’ll ever get it. I remember many people telling me I don’t get it.

Whatever this “it” is, surely eludes me. It’s probably right in front of my face, but I don’t see it. Seems like everyone else has it or gets it, but not me. I can’t hold it in my hand. I don’t even know what it is. No one can or will tell me.

Maybe it’s just not for me. It and I are just about as far apart as we can be. Maybe that will be my epitaph: Nice guy-but he just didn’t get it. Maybe it and I don’t need to be together.

Some people have it and some of them don’t know what to do with it. For all I know, it may just only slow me down. It may give me a rash. Worst of all, it may keep me from realizing who and what I truly am.

Why is it so desirable in the first place? You gotta have it. Either you’re born with it or find it somewhere. It must jump in your lap or something, I don’t know.

I’ve somehow managed to get along without it my whole life. I guess it’s good, but it can’t be that good. I must not need it. I can’t even define it. For me, it ain’t worth it. I’m not missing it. In fact, get it off me! I pray to experience more Love and compassion. I want to give more and receive more. I forgive everyone including and especially myself because we are all one self. Here in this perfect knowledge is where forgiveness, compassion and Love reign forever unassailed?.
