An immediate side-effect   
of mastering the art
of Caring/Not-Caring
is the ability to be at peace 
with whatever comes up
in a "So What? Who Cares?
Why Would Anybody Expect
Anything To Be Different
From This?" kind of way.

And, that enables us to
laugh at everything that happens
with, "Of course!
This is the way things are
in a cosmos where nothing is assured
and anything can happen at any time!"

We are all just lucky to be here
as we are every day!
We are upheld and sustained
by the grace of existence
all of the time!

Russia can invade Ukraine,
fascists can take over 
the Supreme Court,
Congress
and the White House
and destroy democracy over night,
and it all can go quite to hell
in our lifetime.

And if/when it does,
our relationship to it
will not change one bit.

We still will have to get up,
face the day and what happens in it,
seeing what is called for
and doing what needs to be done about it
with the resources we bring to the moment,
moment after moment
in each situation as it arises
all day long
every day.

Our circumstances can be altered
in 10,000 ways,
but our place remains the same
in all of them--
seeing what's what 
and doing what needs to be done 
about it
to the best of our ability
all day long
every day.

And we do that best
when we are emotionally
balanced and in harmony,
spiritually/mentally/physically
in a "So what? Who cares?
I'm doing the best I can
anyway, nevertheless, even so,
no matter what,
through all the cirumstances
that may arise!" kind of way
all the time.

We are here/now.
Why not live as a blessing
and a grace
upon everything and everyone
who comes our way?

How can anyone do better than that
in the best of circumstances?
Why would anyone do other than that
in the worst of circumstances?

If you are a subscriber and get the photo associated with each blog entry but not the text, it is because there is a hitch in the code that causes text to appear as white on a white background. Until that is corrected, the work-a-round, suggested by sandync 28704, is to click on the date of the blog above the photograph and that should link you directly to the blog (And if there is neither image nor text, assume the powers in charge of such things know about it because I have told them, and will either correct things or not as time goes by).
