"How we do anything is how we do everything"

This truism was a scary thought at first. My ways of doing are nothing to write home about, it seemed. They are HUGELY inconsistent and I had a feeling this was not a good thing. For comfort, I would recall the words of the spiritual revolutionary Mohandas Ghandi, "I am not committed to consistency but to truth." We're on the same page, Brother!

Being inconsistent as a way of life is neither better nor worse than any other. In service to truth, which is unity, which is love, I reflect on the positives of doing things in clusters, like clusters of sweet ripe grapes.  There are sometimes long ropes of strong but bare, life-carrying vine between clusters of fruit. There are periods of drought when the vine will not produce fruit yet continue to live, waiting. There are seasonal cycles of bare twining vine, rough, brown and bare of leaf, seemingly dead. There is the cycle of leaf-buds, of grape-buds no bigger than grains of sand. There is growth, and harvest.

It's been a long dry spell for this blog...  is it time for a cluster of posts? do I want to revive my interest and purpose for having created it ? Who does it serve? These and other questions I will reflect on in the
days to come.

The other 'c' word in the wise man's quote is commitment. Lately, this has become more than a word in my long life of lessons in joy and sorrow; it is a reality. What was I so afraid of ? What did I not understand about commitment ?

What does any of this have to do with vitiligo? Everything.

A return to posting on this blog, if this is what I decide, will be different from before. I will learn how to make the setting for comments so that I can hear what you think, feel and say. I apologize for not having done this sooner.

All is well, love yourself no matter what.
