... things will look so very different than from ashore.
What a wisdom of the day .... no, it is certainly not, but again, so simple and we often forget. When we struggle ourselves through the needs of material lives we rush and hurry, and often enough loose the view for what's going on under the waterline. We may get used to looking at a lake or the sea from an angle that gives us the view of a glittering, nicely moving surface, neatly reflecting the sunlight, gently curling, while underneath, life goes on in totally different ways.
And by doing so, we can take so bitterly wrong decisions which will have such a strong impact on our lives. Sometimes even not only on our lives, but on other people's lives, as well.
If someone is aware of how it looks in our seas, he or she might smoothly close the circle to how more or less it also can look in the human soul.
What may look like a picture postcard yet can be dying or dead waters for long where all living creatures struggle hard to get along. The superficial viewer might just miss to realize that. Sometimes, and that certainly is not pleasant, we might find out absolutely yet unknown aspects when looking deep into our mirrors. And, ooops, when it is about parents, we should as well break the taboos and look some more what really they have been, and what of their burdens we have allowed to be or have ourselves stuffed into ourselves, others and future generations. Human, as everyone, as you and me, trying to survive. And yet, do they have such a strong impact over even adult people's lives. We are certainly products of our history. Until we release.
Idealizing is never a solution. Idealizing only supports that trash is moving on.
If I were me (what I am, of course), I would take a deep look deep down into the depths from time to time. Just to reassure that everything is fine down there. Have a dive and check that out, to see what literally is littering around, and what could be needed to be done. Don't fear: The trash is there anyway, also if you close your eyes for that and don't dare looking deeper. Just when you see, you can avoid being strangled by some loosely floating ropes, unforeseen old fishing nets, or you can take necessary actions and measures when being toxified by some, maybe long-time, dumped waste.
Sure, I am a little straight when it's about those neat little boxes people have made there for themselves to live in. Never mind - that's why I'm a clown (and that's often enough not a funny job). Like us or leave us. We certainly have depth, that's why we look behind ... facades.
Facades will crumble at a point. What is beneath, remains.
No one benefits from 'wasting on' their lives. It is a pity for every single day that we waste for reasons of our waste. Who knows. Our time can be shorter than we might assume.
Regards and blessings for a beautiful first Sunday of Advent,
