The world seems to be getting scarier every day. The thing is I can't tell if it is really scarier or it just seems scarier because we all know too much about everything instantly. Either way I guess, scary is scary- climate change, ebola, cyber hackers, school shootings, etc. etc. All the large scale apocalyptic threats are overwhelming especially when discussed 24 hours a day and interspersed with the real life, those much more personal and actual, threats and tragedies of an individual experience.
So, what to do? What to do?
I have given this a lot of thought. Actually, an immense amount of thought and energy and dreaming and intention has gone into the "what to do?" question.
And I have decided.
The thing to do is snuggle up.
Snuggle up to those you love. Hold them tight. Say sweet things. Remind them they are loved. I mean really SNUGGLE UP.
Oh, pshaw, the nay sayers will say. Pshaw the snuggle theory! (Note to self- get the updated lingo for naysayers) :)
But, here is the truth, behind the theory.
I have never regretted a single snuggle (that safe space of warmth and comfort and love).
I have known many a worried heart that has been eased through a snuggle.
We all know people who need more snuggling.
We all know way too much-not snuggling would be silly.
And, dammit, we may not be able to control asteroids and zombies (or the reality of illness or accident) but we can control the intensity and voraciousness of our snuggles.
Luckie me-my theories all have practical (and lovely) applications.
