I was hanging out with some neighbors and one said to me: "okay, stop the preaching." The last time I had heard this was a couple years before when my brother had visited me. He had told me that he wanted to visit and drink some smoothies and loose some weight. So I took him at his word. As soon as he got here he was already sick because he hadn’t eaten all day. He told me that the same thing happened when his doctor had him not eat so he could do some tests. I won't getting into the icky details, but after a couple days he was really feeling bad . I did my best to tell him what was going on and to help him out. This to him was "Preaching," telling him what he didn’t want to hear. I realized that I just didn’t get clear enough with him beforehand. So again I was hearing the preaching idea when at least one neighbor wasn’t wanting to hear what I was saying. Basic disagreement or something else? Who knows, don’t go there. Don’t dig into it and find out. I’m okay with agree to disagree . Then at least you know. Where are the folks that want to Socialize with Purpose? Where are the people who want Honesty, who are open minded and Willing to explore our and humanities ignorance about so many things. To leave behind the Idea that it’s not good to talk about politics and religion, and go onto the Psycho-Social Frontier where you can talk about anything and do it in a way that allows us to learn about ourselves. Knowing that if we get plugged in or upset that it’s an opportunity for growth. Knowing there’s no blame and that it’s going on inside us and we can learn from it by not taking it personally. So what if we can all teach what we wanted to learn at AnimAJourney in the not too distant future? A.J............
