Players In The Game

My life is changing.
it feels uncomfortable sometimes.

I have to remember to be grateful that when things happen to end certain situations, as new ones can take the place of the old ones. Reminder to self. . . Learn from your past experiences, use discernment when choosing what experiences you choose to indulge in!

Here is a theory:
Our life is like a game. We are game pieces on a board or boards. The boards are mini theatres, with themes. There are multiple boards to play on, each with it's own matrix of pieces. Most pieces get to play on multiple boards, and some pieces play on many boards. One object is to reach a place where you can see of your pieces on all of the boards on which you are playing. After that, you might have the option of joining another game, while still playing the old game. The games are not necessarily fair. Sometimes the rules, boards and players change without notice. There are no winners and losers. The object of the games is subjective.

Blogging has opened up another dimension of play for me. I want to thank Ben Mack for helping open this door. Ben, thanks for transcribing a story which is a mirror of my own experience.
