Side 2: Plug Into that Pulse
Remember Annie Dilliard? We mentioned her essay, “Living
Like Weasels” on Side One. Her essay continues…
“The thing is to stalk your calling in a certain skilled and
supple way, to locate the most tender and live spot and plug into that pulse.
This is yielding, not fighting.”
We are creatures of purpose. We just need to find that
purpose. As the Avett Brothers sing in the opening song of this Side 2, “Decide
what to be and go be it.”
Need encouraged, well Jimmy Cliff has it right. “You Can Get
It If You Really Want.”
What is “It?”
Maybe you’ll paint a masterpiece. Maybe you’ll take a trip,
or speak when you have something to say. Maybe you’ll find happiness and stay
there.
We can be Better People. We can help people for no reason.
Just to help.
So, you’re not where you want to be? Then know when to move
on. When to get going.
Just don’t stop, and don’t let anyone else stop you.
Be a weasel. “A weasel doesn’t “attack” anything; a weasel
lives as he’s meant to, yielding at every moment to the perfect freedom of
single necessity.”
Find that single necessity, plug into that pulse, and yield
to something better.
Peace.
