Current of Consciousness
Dear Rita Mae
Brown,
I have
started reading Venus Envy and today I came across the phrase “current of
consciousness”. Again I marveled that you are putting up with me and my
letters, when so much of what I speculate on, you have already mulled over and
written about.
On this day,
I am going for a walk with an old friend, an ex-boss and one of my favorite
people in the world. Later, I will meet another friend and two sisters for
dinner, more favorites. That phrase brings me to wonder if those that we draw
near to are chosen, at least in part, by that current. They fill in the blanks
for us. They pull or push us on, effecting us as we, possibly subconsciously,
wish to be pulled and pushed.
Many have
said that there is a reason for every person in your life. I don’t believe that
whole heartedly. I’ve also heard that if you fail to plan, someone else will
make plans for your life and you will be living out their wishes and not your
own. There is a combination of the two at play.
Being aware
that there is such a thing, a “current of consciousness”, is big. There is a
choice to be made, or rather a choice that can be made on…which current shall I
surf today?
Thank you for
your words RMB. I like these three.
Yours truly,
