Hearing voices

October 19


The other day I was talking about the voices on my shoulders. You know the ones. The angel and devil? One on each shoulder? For me, there is the classic little devil character that whispers in my ear to make a joke at just the right moment, and I love that little fucker! He is playful and not mean-spirited at all. But then his brothers, uncles, dad, and grandfathers join in. They are all certifiably crazy-ass mofos. But, on the other side are all the people that stood in opposition to all of that craziness. Those people who tried to help and who hung in there with me all those years ago. The old guy down the street, a teacher I had, a boss, a coworker, friends, my sponsors, etc. All those people. They are all on the other shoulder. I hear them, too. Those are the times when I am at my best and doing all the right things; when the choices I make are for others, and the actions I take are for the greater good. I love the guidance of those voices. But most of the time, I’ll say whatever that little devil tells me to. Why? Because it’s funny as hell!

Reflections

What voices do you hear? Who do you listen to?

Daily Challenge

Try to meditate again today. Listen for that loud, big voice.
