To Each Their Own
As I approach the beginning of the fourth year I have had this blog, I have been reflecting on its reach and interest. It began as “The Comedy of Codependence” and has been mostly focused on that topic in various iterations. Along the way, I have been led to included pieces from my two books of meditations from Babaji, along with the contemporaneously written ones.
One of the aspects of this blog that fascinates me is my inability to know which blogs will appeal to which people. Some of you are kind enough to share your feelings and/or comment on the topic of the week. That is immensely helpful as it lets me know that I am on the right track or at least traveling down a road that is being enjoyed. That being said, I am often surprised by which ones are most helpful.
A friend and reader recently commented that they prefer the ones written in the “I” mode, rather than those “preachy ones that state you, you, you should or need to.” I explained that most of those are from the books of mediations and are in essence lessons or directions to help people. “Well, I don’t like them. You shouldn’t use those!”
This caused me to chuckle as often those are the ones that generate the most commentary or “Thank you, I needed that!” I have often posted ones that I felt were too preachy or would not have much reach only to be proven wrong time and time again. It is delightful for me as it proves the power of the books as they are not meant to be read straight through but rather opened to a page randomly. They have helped me enormously through the years as I have wondered, pondered and searched for a starting place to understand my feelings.
So, again I thank you all for reading and a special shoutout to all who send me comments or just a quick message that it hit the mark that week.
Enjoy
