Shutterbugmama's Journal

I've tried to be quiet; It's impossible.

It's a big place....and with that in mind, this is how I see it.

There is central park...see it?  It's VAST, and ALL walks of life come here to relax, to talk, to meet, to gather, to read, to share, to breath, to escape, to preach, to find a corner of the world that could be just ours, even if only for an hour or less....

NOW, imagine that EVERY SINGLE TREE IN CENTRAL PARK has a flier on it...some are blowing in the wind, some look like they've been there for ages, and some are brand new in a vibrant and eye catching orange with bold print...everyone in Central Park has something to say, and they were ENCOURAGED to share it...

There are others, everywhere, surrounding the trees, reading the messages, gathering to discuss it, and groups are forming, people are co-mingling, and all are learning, processing, moving forward from Flier to Flier...

What the Rainbow of individuals are failing to notice is that reading it ALL is not mandatory.  There is no obligation..there is no agreement, contract, or minimum due...You cant be fired from life, and and your choices, time and energy are all your own, to spend however you wish.

Enjoy the park I callCafemom.  Engage yourself in circles which feed your spirit, nurture your soul, strengthen your heart, and enrich your process....many times, all it takes to do this, is LOVE SOMEONE.

Leave the fliers up...do not deface them.  We all have a place, an opinion, and a voice; and being that this is a public park, you have to take responsibility for yourself.  Why read a flier, then turn around and lash out???

If you don't like it, then walk on, Sister.

There's something here for everyone.

And truly, the general public can be quite amusing...lol.

Just sayin'.

Peace and love...and millions of crazy fliers to you.

XO
