I will let you know which of the entries i loved most, didn't like the most and why, I haven't had a chance to revisit them yet.
What I can say here and now without having done that yet is that I love the insight it gives me into you, and the perceptions that invite me in to see from that perspective.
By looking through these perceptions and perspectives, I can ascertain that I don't always agree, but I find the act of visiting the different viewpoints, feeling and passion directives, differences in what thralls and matters absolutely fascinating.
In part it makes me reassured that I'm not alone in the way I approach the world, and in part I am challenged to face myself an revisit the things I think and why, the way I feel, why - and how does it outflow?
I decided to take my own inspiration from what you were doing and at this stage decided not to do a 100 days of love and hate, but instead look at 100 people who have made a significant impression on my life.
It matters to me that I not only /know/ how much I value someone, but be able to articulate why, to extend to them this reasoning, to give them something real, something tangible that says undeniably that they matter, that their presence in the world has purpose, brings life, joy and inspiration, saddness, pain, growth and challenge.
It is important to me to have at my fingertips, a breath away, my connections. To be able to reach out and feel them, experience them and appreciate them. It is important for me to revisit the intense and beautiful, the painful and horrific experiences.
They have coloured me, they have textured me, and since I appreciate who I am, I appreciat these people, these experiences, these connections.
I hope to inspire others to look around them, to look inwards and not be afraid of what they find, to examine in themselves and their life that which comes together to become their 'Self'.
I want to share with people how intensely I feel, how magical and wonderful, how painful and demanding I find it, and explain how I can see the inspiration and spice of incredible that someone brings to my life at any given moment.
I have no doubt that I would get a lot of this from also doing a 100 days project, I've no doubt I'd get different things from doing it, just as valuable lessons...
I learn so much from you, and I take comfort in your strength and the way in which you see the world, when you voice your thoughts and feelings on these entries, I am often caught by what I myself think and how. Having said that, given my tendency to ramble... i rarely voice these things, but I often think about them. I am incredibly grateful for this, for you- but more on that another time :)
