What if.....

As I sat, looking outside my window... embracing the beautiful sunshine... I watched, absorbing the silence... the quietness... and I wondered...

What if......


Then I recalled as a child... saying “what if.... and my grandmother quickly responding....
If ....Ifs and Ands Were Pots And Pans, There'd Be No Work For Tinkers' Hands...

And of course as a small child I had no idea what she was talking about.... just another saying... of the many she would use when she either didn’t want to address something.... or maybe couldn’t.... because she didn’t know....

As I remembered, recalled that reality I contemplated, the notion that perhaps what we are experiencing at the moment... maybe there are no answers.... no solutions... just variations of what each of us.... consciously or obliviously feel... or are listening to ...... or find while researching.... or just sit in wonderment... and of course what we are sharing.... just as I am in this moment......

What if ....we are all right and we are all wrong....
What if .....the information we are being given is only part of the reality....
What if ....... the human race is really only in one virtual combined dream...
What if... the leaders of the worlds are right.... or perhaps wrong....
What if... your fear is fueling you and others around you...
What if... I have my head buried in the sand... in a fantasy that all will be well...
What if.... this is about being silent.... loud... shouting... screaming... releasing...
What if.... I am enjoying this isolation... or feeling trapped
What if .... the news ... fake OR real is all part of an experiment to see how we react... respond...
What if... this is about being kind to others... being a community... locally and globally...

This is NOT about.....
​
Male vs female
Gay vs heterosexual
Black vs white
Old vs young
Rich vs poor
Sick vs healthy
Pro vs con
Hate vs love
Religion vs spirituality
Resident vs immigrant

I know many of you digesting my reflection at this time have your own What if... if so, I invite you to  share... and for EVERYONE reading this, if you intimidate someone because of their what if.... shame on you... and yes, I will delete your comment... this is about being open... sharing. 
None of us are wrong... none of us are right... maybe your what if is different.... and that is okay.... this is about allowing each of us to share... our own what if.... without judgement ... without fear of retribution...

I love Rumi quotes... even at this time when there is so much uncertainty.... so many questions... yet few or confusing answers... each of us in our own reality... whether connected ... plugged in... intravenously to the media 24/7 processing... or ignoring everything and everyone.....

Rumi said... We carry within us... the wonders we seek outside us....

And maybe there, in those words, lie the answers to all our “what ifs”... and maybe they don’t. 

Thank you for taking the time to read  this, letting me share, as one human, being having a spiritual epiphany, to another.
