GOOD COMPANY
GOOD COMPANY
"We are known by the company we keep," our parents used to say . Or "birds of a feather flock together."
Good company contributes to your happiness and convenience, even while you also contribute to theirs.
Measure for measure is good company's mutually convivial measure, though its mode and methodology may differ with time, place, opportunity, and need.
Everybody cannot be, or bring the steak. Somebody must be or bring the fire, coals, and grill; just as others must be or bring the right seasonings and the side dishes; yet still some others must be or bring tables, chairs, trash bags, the plates, napkins, dessert, cutlery ; surely someone must be, or bring the music, beer, wine, water, pop.
Now, that's good company for a barbecue picnic . That identical principle applies more broadly in daily life with you and your friends.
Human life is a dynamic differential equation, constantly evolving, being adjusted and balanced.
This life requires that its divine energy, which is already based on fusion, fission, and grace; which is guided by love, nurture and light- -both seen and unseen light, be balanced .
This dimension of life is cosmic, being star-derived and star-driven. It is based on astronomy, geometry, arithmetic, and the Holy Spirit, the unknown, which it is briefly housed here on earth, ephemerally; that is, for a season, to replicate, to reproduce, until its "change comes" at its pre-appointed time in space.
Good company is needed every step of the way, as "it is not good that man should be alone," ever.
