A glorious mascarade....

My wife and I went downtown Chicago on Saturday night. It was the day of the Air and Water show so the streets were a buzz and people of all sorts were strolling down the Michigan Avenue. There were the fancy guy types dressed up in Armani...Women gracing passers by with their model good looks and 5th avenue fashions... There were the casual types in jeans and t-shirts... There were the very casual types with flip flops and cargo shorts and every possible type in between...they were all there. We stoped by Trump Tower and gazed upon the "upper class" pulling up in expensive cars and eating 50 dollar steaks....we took the architectural river tour and sat with tourists from all over marveling at the beauty that is Chicago....

Taking all of this in I realized that life on this planet is but a glorious mascarade and felt why souls just LOVE coming down here. Why wouldn't they? They can chose to be born anywhere, dress up anyway, try being rich or poor, strong or weak, intelligent or no so much... They put on a suit and dive into the ocean of feelings and emotions and they love every moment of it.....it is us who don't truly understand our soul's intentions that "drown" in everday life. We don't have to. Life is EXCEPTIONAL. And when we try to realize our soul purpose we forget what seems to me to be a main portion of it which is experience itself. Our soul wants to try things it knows about but never tried on for size. It wants to play, it wants to take things for a spin. Let's let it! Listen to your soul and find things that make it sing and then do them!

P.S. In the interest of public safety keep karma in mind before you begin to do anything :)
