The me nobody knows
Just came in from the car where I was listening to XM 28, On Broadway, my favorite satellite radio station. As I was turning off the car a song came on from a show I have never heard of, The Me Nobody Knows. I was struck by the title and it sent my mind off on a tangent.
I know that there are sides to me that nobody really knows and I suspect the same is true for many. Did you ever take the time to really think about how complicated we all are? Depending on your age, there is the soul of who we were as a child and whatever that taught us. We carry that along with us as we make the trek on to adulthood and the lessons we learn on that road. As we go along our way, all of what we have taken in is informing who we are now. Some of what shapes us we all share, such as an event like 9/11. But, even that gets processed inside our minds by whatever else has molded us along the way.
Is it possible to share all that with the outside world, even with those closest to us? Speaking just for me, I know that some parts of what makes me the person I am have trouble finding a place in my life. I’m not sure where this is heading, but to take it a step further, what is inside of us that we do not know about ourselves? Many go to therapy, support groups, or even take medication to cope with, or try to understand what makes us tick. The theme of this blog ties into this in the sense that there may be some things, a whole other reality(ies), that exists around us and shapes our day to day living and we might have not a clue. Spirits of those who came before us, energy vibrations from all the living things around us, angels, God…who knows what we share this universe with.
I guess the reason I bring this up is because since we don’t know and since it is possible that (here comes my Broadway obsession again) you never walk alone, we might want to take a beat before we respond to something, see if there is more that we can take in to inform our choices, our reactions, our decisions. Even if we never really palpably feel the presence of the spiritual world that may live around us, doesn’t mean that there are not forces at work that add another piece to our life’s puzzle.
