It wasn't the beginning, but it was a beginning...

Hi friends!

I've decided to start a blog. So here 'tis. In it expect to find a plethora of Khrystisms, musings on eco-conciousness, animals, music, ecology, metaphysics, philosophy, and whatever else I'm inspired to share with you. (And, apparently, a lot of commas.)

To begin with, I will share with you the Khrystism I'm reminded of most often.

Khrystism #42: Illumination
Whenever someone is worried about an issue between themselves and someone else, no matter how small, and they put it "away" rather than dealing with it, it sits in some small, dark corner of their mind and festers. The longer it's left there in the dark, the bigger and bigger the balloon of worry and insecurity and fear and other muck-o-evil grows around it and the more worried and tense the person, and therefore the relationship, becomes, even though neither person might realize exactly why. As soon as the issue is addressed, that is, it is illuminated, all of the inflation of fear dissolves and you are both able to see the issue for the relatively small thing it really is. Even if it is something very important and even if we are fearful of the potential outcome, the reality is never as bad as our minds may twist it to be.
