Just BE

     Let it be - that was a Beetles' song wasn't it? Was pondering this thought yesterday. Actually, watching an episode of Breaking Amish. There are many Amish folks around Malone.  Also, down in PA where Rosie and Herbie lived. 
     Folks who left Amish community and then shunned from their community.  A young man in love with a non-Amish woman; she has cancer.  Boy's Mother does not like the girl. Father and Mother left Amish community because their children left.  The father said; "They are my children I love them no matter what."
     It is an interesting show.  I find it remarkable that older folks - parents, were willing to walk away from everything in support of their children. 
     This young man wanted to marry this woman.  He went to a pawn shop; traded a homemade Amish quilt for a ring.  The girl said no.  She could not marry him because she did not know if she was going to live. 
     His parents, and this woman how unselfish they were. 
     Then I watched show with all those children, followed by Sister Wives.  Not my usual Sunday night but Food Network was all Chopped reruns. 
     Back to my point - I do have one somewhere up here in my head.  We need to accept others for who they are.  We need to be just who we are.  We really do need to "Let it Be."  The woman who had cancer said something about she did not want to be the cause for other people's pain and worry.  Of course we cannot control what others feel.  It is of this concept though where we have to find a place in ourselves where others can just "be." 
     This concept is still forming. Like Jello it is just now water and sand.  Needs to sit in my head a bit before it congeals into something of substance.
     Do you know what I mean though? Loving someone may bring us to a point where we worry about them - however, that worry is ours to carry. 
     Let us be - it is a good idea.  If you are happy, comfortable, content, even just to lazy to move; if you are OK with that then just be that! If you are not hurting anyone; well I reckon you can "BE" whomever you are.
     The idea we must go out into this world, strive for a penthouse, top job, CEO - whatever.  Why? If you are good with where you are then just stay there. Be what fits you. Don't understand how it came to pass that being who you were was not enough.
     The Purpose Driven Life - that is just fine.  Our purpose can be self contained.  It is just fine to stay put.  Moving is good; You don't have to move miles...move 10 steps.
It is just fine!
     I don't know - I need to think on this some more.  Just seems to me being whomever you are - doing whatever makes your socks jump up and down - Someone has to work at Del Taco.  Same as someone has to run Exon Mobil Gasoline. 
     Would be nice if we all found our bliss.  If we knew, truly felt calm by ourselves or if we could be "still" long enough to hear silence.
