Do you ever wonder if there are actually any normal people out there? I feel as though a common conversation is that we all wish we were normal. And there are those that bemoan the supposed normal and say that it is boring. I have started to believe that normal is not actually a reality. It is some supposed ideal about the middle ground or common expectation. The irony is that we all seem to want to be somewhere we are not. God invites us to celebrate wherever we actually are. Wishing it were not so, labeling it as an aberration does not get us anyway. And what if who we are is an aberration? We would be boring zombies if we all trotted the same course. Maybe the real normal of life is being a creative expression of the aberration we are. Norms and commonalities are good and helpful but if desiring to meet them comes at the expense of discovering the creative aberration of how life can be I don’t want normal. It takes courage to be willing to sit in and with the truth of who we are especially when it means rubbing up against what we believe or have always been told is what we are supposed to aim for. Taking the road less traveled (the one that lays outside the boundaries of the usual course) takes the moment to moment choice guided by the energy of our hearts to be open to exploring life from the angle of aberration. We may end up somewhere in the land of the normal but it will still be our creative path of aberration that got us there and we will have some different stories to share which can expand the definition of normal
Are there areas of our lives where our focus on trying to be normal is steering us away from the creative aberration that is being called up within us to be expressed today?
