Sometimes experiences seem real or to some crazy or absurd as in doing something today, that your future self will benefit from. Expressing genuine love will always have a residual effect.
Love is as strong as death such that you feel you can even touch it. Palpable is usually reserved for situations in which something invisible becomes so intense that it feels as though it has substance or weight. Someone who has experienced a death in the family might say that her grief feels palpable.
An absurd example might be when a mother is called by her little one that there is a ‘boogie man’ under the bed or in the closet. For the mom it is a palpable absurdity and of course mom has to use ‘skillful words’ of explanation. An addled, suspicious or paranoid mind is one confused, foggy, or discombobulated and appears to another as a palpable condition that seems obvious. A mind filled with the emotion of the heart appears as if it can be reached out and touched, or in other words, palpably real.
The gap between what you say and what you do can be palpable as, between what you promise and what you delivered, and is like a drain in the road. The drain is where water escapes, just as your power will seep away if there is a difference between your words and your actions. Ask yourself everyday, were your thoughts, words and actions aligned? Were they palpably real? Ask someone else what they saw in you too. Feedback is the food of all positive change. Were my words and actions palpably seen or have you been just shadow boxing and being a ‘wack-a-doodle?
A personal palpable absurdity is that when a friend suggested that I looked related to rock star’s Kurt Cobain of Nirvana fame and that I could be his father. What made it palpable was our close ‘extended family’ connection in the same neighborhood, and that included his attractive similarly aged, mom Wendy. At the time of his ‘conception’, since I was in the same ‘neighborhood’, that was palpable…but absurd?
There is an unusual word called, ‘sciamachy’ which is a battle against perceived, perhaps imaginary enemies, which is really fighting with your own shadow as the real enemy is within you. ‘Missing the obvious’ like ‘male energy’ is immoral, when the reality is not necessarily so or that female energy is cloaked and sneaky. More palpable and absurd is missing the endless fountain of love within you. Remember…fountains have to be turned on!
