Kismet, The Scales.

Let's quickly talk about kismet, or fate, or synchronicity. Whatever you want to call it, it's the universe being unlikely in meaningful ways to remind you that it's intelligent, that it's not all just accident, and in my mind, to remind you there's someone running the show that cares about you and is orchestrating things perfectly for your best interest.

So, I teach a class today on listening to your inner voice. Then, not intentionally, I end up writing a blog about honesty, and, ultimately, listening to your inner voice. Then, I accidentally have my itunes open, go to close it, and see, advertised on the front page, an album with a stylized outline of a scales. I am frozen in place, because it looks almost exactly like the stylized scales I showed to the kids I was teaching, for a symbol/tool I was teaching them, to get in touch with their inner voice. I click on the album, click on one song somewhat randomly called "I am human" and some phrases strike me, "I can't believe everything I see." and some refrains like, "I am strong, I am weak." about being human. It's about authenticity, and lies, and accepting that we have both light and dark in us. A theme played out yet again, and an additional message emphasized: we're not perfect yet. We're all a mixture of light and dark, truth and lies, strive for light, but accept your common humanity, and where you are and what you are, right now. That too is an element of truth, and certainly of authenticity. Here, I think this song is a good accompaniment to my previous post. Like the illustrative songs I try to include with my lesson plans for the kids I teach on weekends ;D
