Norm?!

Taking a look at how the norm has so easily become abnormal
The human experience is one like I have never seen before. I don’t think I will ever see anything like it. People exchange with one another on a daily. I’ve noticed that it’s gotten so that we don’t even make eye contact. When we do we find some pretty awe inspiring things.
Lately I have been finding that being allowed appropriate access to the high tech gadgets that I possess forces me to deal with another new world – the REAL one. Guess what’s in the real world?People. I’ve come to the startling discovery that socialization is not my strong suit. People talk, move about and act out. They have ideas, emotions and attitude for days. They do this so effortlessly. Yes, I smile, joke, and speak at the appropriate time. My psych filter works fine. But inside something is going on each day. A shift is taking place. Transformation is wonderful when its allowed to happen.
My usual is come home and get ready for work. My NORM. Just recently I had the rare pleasure of sitting in the livingroom and engaging in conversation with a woman who is an elder in my family. The experience surmounted any data usage and 16 MB of whatever in my techy world. Upon my departure she did something that I am accustomed to but not attuned to – she hugged me and rubbed her hand up and down my back. She called me baby and told me to not be a stranger. It was calming, soothing and healing all at the same time. I felt the sincerity, the connectedness, the love. I felt, dare I say it, HUMAN. Crazy, Right? Nope.
This is the NORM. I’ve been functionally abnormal for so long that it’s INSANE. I have been missing out-BIG TIME. There’s a banner across my spirit and it reads:
