Celebrate who you are, let go, live, bring happy along with you.
I love this scene, a sort of candid camera type glimpse into a life, hopefully, lived to the beat of that different drummer.
Celebrate your flaws, they are also impermanent, part of the fiber that makes us human, imperfect, sentenced to die as each life succumbs to nature.
Judgment does not leave this planet with us, so why value it.
Judgment is air without action, not even a breeze.
Judgment shackles the expansive mind with ego limiting thoughts, thoughts comparing, doubting, worrying, and fearing.
Our prison in life is our ego, small, rigid, adolescent and its glaring weakness, it can never feel equal to anyone.
This is a challenge for me. My childhood imprint was one of constant critical comments and physical punishments.
Deep inside me, that imprint manifests as doubt, worry, fear and unworthiness.
Daily practice has given me weapons, skills and experience to apply and navigate this scary maze of trauma.
It it is not easy or calm some days.

Very well written Marty. Everything you said makes perfect sense. The very first sentence is so important as we never know what the next minute can bring. Live each moment as if it were your last! Enjoy life to the fullest.
