Keeping a diary; leaving a legacy

Keeping a diary; leaving a legacy It appears that to leave a legacy, we need to keep a diary? But, what is a diary? Is it the thoughts we have at a given moment? What if we have a distorted perspective because we are facing a challenging time. A Dip? Does a diary give us strength or does it make us vulnerable? What is a diary but a written account of our own perspective? My diary, has words. Words- written in song by great writers. The artists that know how to express what I am unable to put is words. My diary is a music compilation of thoughts, feelings and dreams I live for. What does your diary look? What is your legacy? I know my legacy, is supple, based on an individual not a crowd, from the heart and true- without a monitory gain for a Porche or Aston Martin or a mansion on the hill. When we touch one soul, is that not a legacy worthy enough?

The thing about vunerability and openness

Vulnerability definition Late Latin vulnerābilis , wounding , from Latin vulnerāre , to wound , from vulnus , vulner- , wound Openness definition a. Affording unobstructed entrance and exit; not shut or closed. b. Affording unobstructed passage or view Vulnerability is like a good gossip session- the conversation is without obstruction, but leads to wounding. If not yours, someone else's. Openness is like a good conversation with a true friend- there is now obstruction, but you know that they mean well and you are actively listening to new ways of seeing a situation. You are free to take and leave any bits and know that they love you anyway and will be there for you- regardless of your choices. Choose who you are vulnerable to and who you are open to. Openness is the stars in a night sky. The light in the dark. Venus being the brightest.

The thing about living in a jam jar

Bugs are free to live. Most bugs are not pest but have a purpose. Ants are the cleaners, bees the birth control of nature, ladybirds manage aphids, flies are the incinerators of waste, spiders control mosquitoes and flies, mosquitoes the food for other living lizards, dung beetles manages poo, on and on the list goes..... When we do not become who we are supposed to be, I can only compare it to a bug in a empty jam jar. You see the beauty of life every second but you do not live it.  It is our duty as free bugs to open the jam jar for others so they too can live. No matter what "bug" you are, you have a purpose! Why stay in the jar? Whose jar can you open today? What will you do if your jar is open? what view do you see from your jar?
