My friend and one of the
greatest artists in the world, Rebecca Bass, had a get together tonight for her
new “space.” The space is where Rebecca
creates and expresses. Everyone in
attendance drew a card. My card happened
to be El Mundo. The card is a picture of
a man, down on one knee and literally holding the world on his shoulders. In Spanish, El Mundo translates to The World.
For most people, there would
be some deep discussion about the meaning to the card. For me, I just laughed and gave a little, “thanks
for the reminder to the good Lord and the universe.” The card reminded me of the importance of how
things can pile up on us if we allow it to happen. Drama, stress, and other people’s issues can
swamp us if we attempt to own the issues.
It is not our responsibility to hold the world on our shoulders, yet we
do at times. Rather than holding the
world on your shoulders, strive to identify what does and does not matter, shed
the loads, and learn to love life.
