Wesdom- The Pun's on me....

There is a friend of mine who will occasionally call me up and ask for what he calls "Wesdom". I think this is hilarious because anyone who knows me knows I am not fond of the trend towards the countless  self appointed "gurus" springing up for all manner of life situations, and have long felt that sacred cows make the best barbeque. 

This is not to minimize many gifted folks in the world who have sincere desire to be useful to those in need. Those people certainly deserve a shot at making a living also. I think it's usually pretty easy to separate those types of people from the relentlessly self aggrandizing hucksters who traffic in self-help and spirituality with the intent of serving themselves before serving others. I have known more than a few truly devoted humans who live in Love and Service, and they will likely die in obscurity with the soul comfort of knowing they truly put back in at least as much if not more than they took out, and were helpful along the way. Occasionally a few of the genuine article end up on a movie or television screen and even on a local bookstore shelf. I have known a few of those also. All I'm saying is most of us know BS when we see it or hear it, so we need to trust that.

"Wesdom" is like a sharp stick in my side to steer clear of my own BS as much as possible when I am being asked to be helpful. If there is any value in what I have to offer it would have to derive from my own journey through broken"ness", which qualifies me as no expert on anything other than my own story, and even then there may be some "gaps". Being Authentic seems like a reasonable if occasionally difficult standard to strive for in this endeavor.

I have a sincere desire to be useful in an appropriate fashion. That's pretty vague, and purposefully so. I need a little wriggle room so I can be helpful in a variety of situations. Sometimes the best help I can offer is to say "I am clueless, you better find someone else to help on that one". Other times I can be a veritable  fountain of "Wesdom". 

So welcome to this blog. If you find Wisdom on here it might be a typo. It's most likely Wesdom. However, there just might be some cool moments. We will find out together. It's kinda like finding that great place to eat on a road trip and then telling all your friends about it. Of course, it helps the metaphor if your amigos are headed down similar roads or at least in same relative direction, but let's not get too picky. It's a blog site....not the Dead Sea Scrolls...or Rand McNally for that matter.

In the meantime, have a good day/night/moment/"pick your interval of time measurement". We will shake the Spiritual Couch Cushions and see what loose change we find. Lots of love to everybody and as always...

Walk In Beauty.
