Biodegradable Soap Lessons (what I gratefuletize)
Current mood: thankful
Category: Life
What I am grateful for, what are you, darling, grateful for?
When I was small and wild I learned about climbing rocks and rivers and catching crawdads and cattails and I learned, while camping with Dad, why one uses biodegradable soap in a river.
I also lived down the dirt road from a very old woman's rickety white house that had a flock of peacocks and all night we would hear them cry, aaarrrgh-awww aarrrrh-awww!
I am grateful that I grew up in the golden country. That I climbed into old gold mines as a teenager, and swam in weird lake things. That I caught tadpoles, that I swam with frogs, that I heard the coyotes and picked pomegranates from our tree, that I rode a bike and had long legs that made me look like a dorky grasshopper on it.
I am grateful that my heart is set on love and that through my parent's oddly sensitive compassionate Mormon nature, I was taught to never hate. (Though unfortunately, I was immersed in loads of undercover racism)Yet I was taught to be endeared. To animals, to little old men, to stinky people, to crazy people on the street, to babies, to meth addicts. That my sister, Heather, has taught me that more than anyone I ever have known. That when someone seemed sad or alone, just one moment talking to them can change their entire life. I love heather so deeply for that thing in her heart. Through the haze of judgement that has its claws in our human hearts, we can see past the faults or differences of ANYONE THAT WE CHOOSE TO. AND WE CAN CHANGE THEIR LIFE.
TO me, that is the greatest most hippest most exciting quality that any of us can have. The best talent in the world to me, is the ability to love free-ly.
HEATHER BEATTY IS my sweetheart sister, and I hope that you think about this blog and HEATHER sometimes. How, in high school, her and her friend KIM, befriended this pretty nerdy girl that worked in the cafeteria. How I saw that they went out of their way to be extra nice to her.
How it was the best lesson I ever soaked in.
I AM GRATEFUL FOR HEATHER ELAINE BEATTY.
I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE FEELING THAT LOVE GIVES TO NOT ONLY THE LOVER, BUT THE LOVEE.
