WE NEED A LITTLE MADNESS: We need for a moment to be able to spurn the good opinion of others to allow our innermost selves to come out. If we edit every thought or feeling, trim it around the edges, box it and shrink wrap it to make it presentable, we will not be able to let our creative juices flow. Growth is messy. Real self expression is spontaneous. Bind it and we bind our soul along with it. Implicit in this is a kind of honesty. Allowing hidden parts of ourselves to come forth before we change them into what we would like them to be requires us to sit with and look at all of who we are. This deepens our humanness, our ability to accept our humanness and our ability to embrace the humanness of others. A little madness allows us to take a flying leap into our own souls, to dare to belive that there is a force of soul with which we are and can be in beautiful alignment, to risk seeing soul in all that surrounds us.
As Clark Gable said in 'Gone With The Wind' - "Frankly My Dear, I don't give a damn!"- it s important to do what we think is right, even at the cost of ruffling a few feathers...
Perhaps it is mad to think that the world is fundamentally the stuff of soul, but is there a good enough reason to think otherwise?
