Blog #3 This I Believe

I believe in a thousand things. It is simple and it is not. There is my intention to do good that leads to belief in hard work for money, glory and the satisfaction of just doing and finishing something. It gives meaning to my belief. I intend to believe and that alone layers the simple charm of people over the complexity of the acts of  man. The acting of our fellow-man is despicable at times and seems unbelievable! I choose charm and consciousness and believe kind awareness in my hard work with and toward people and truth will rub-off in my community.

I believe in so many things, so why do I see fault in me when people don’t understand. Understand what I say; understand what I feel; understand what should be simple. I believe it is a jigsaw puzzle and each experience in each day and each thought at night are pieces assembling my picture and my understanding. I intend to show my belief is a simple thing with dimensional edges that can be confused and unclear but with trial and error pieced together to make a simple vision of  those many, many pieces.

I believe that I am an animal that can experience pain and respond. I believe I will find love and I also will find food. Simple….but as a man I can love the essence of my food, sit back and relax and understand the meaning of the satisfaction of my “fullness”. Complex…but simple. I believe and know it can be shared in meal with others. Even more complex; if one chooses to look deep.

I believe in a world of simple things and intricate interactions. Like a monsoon in summer it comes the same in the afternoon but new every time. I intend to believe in belief.

I believe in belief. Otherwise, what I can I learn when a host of men claim they know the truth but lies and hatred and bad intentions abide. I believe in a light touch and a bit of humor can diffuse the buildup of pressure from unreasonable men.  We all might remember that “The Dude  abides.”

It seems belief is a paradox. I believe that belief resolves itself. Little things make up big things but big things are simple…because they are made up of simple pieces. And around and  around we go. It is fun and it is frustrating but life is just that.
