#Ashton and Laudna's deep chat the night before the solstice got my mind running

How wonderful, beautiful, to allow yourself to see something from someone else's perspective. To let yourself like. Everything. To allow yourself to appreciate something simply for the value that someone else finds in it. There is no meaning but that which we assign. If nothing means anything, then it can mean EVERYTHING. Perhaps life is simply a wonderful accident. Okay. Now allow yourself to stand in awe at the outlandish probability that you are conscious and sentient in this moment to experience life. The odds are beyond calculation. Stand witness to the wonder of your own existence, improbable as it is. And allow yourself to know joy in anything and everything.

Here is a purpose: If, like me, you need a way to be useful, if only to justify your own existence, then let your reason for living be to appreciate your good fortune. Let yourself enjoy and accept good things, like kindness, and peace. Not cuz you deserve it, not cuz it was a gift or whatever and you wanna be gracious, nah...just cuz it's there and you're there. Might as well.
