Too cool for words… discovered this on UTUBE – I love Life on Mars by Bowie. Not on Mars, but on this Earth, everyone dear to you dies. And that’s called life.
No one clearly knows how much “time” one has; so as the cliche goes, live your life distinctively for self and others.
Distinctively does not mean with fame and fortune but with … ??? Yoga helps with that answer, I think.
BTW, recognizing only Ziggy can pull off wearing a ‘mint green’ suit (& yes, that tie) in style.
That’s it! He has a distinctive style like no other.
Now he’s hanging with Freddie up there, once again, in eternal style, no doubt.
There are hardened competitive people who see others in the same field or business with a sense of fear – Easily threatened, these people approach interactions with the “other” with a sense of rivalry. Masked as strive for excellence, everything can turn into a contest, a competition with the mindset of scarcity and insecurity. That kind of people tend to see things in the finite and tends to set a lot of limits and feel the need to control. Securing power is the primary source of security for them – the energy is that of a burn-out or maxed out, very limited and limiting.
Then, there are the more open minded people who see others with a true sense of gratitude … and sometimes, beyond friendship, with a sense of collaborative spirit – everyone is a possible collaborator. To them, if not a kindred spirit, embracing more of the differences, even, opposites in others, having a yin/yang perspective rather than a win/loss; more/less; right/wrong. With appreciation, another being is seen as a complement, a collaborator. Indeed, collaborations with others come with natural grace as one draws upon the experience to birth and harness more creative energy… It’s more about the more – motto – and so there is growth. There’s that sense of limit-less development, an evolution, with each rebirth process, becoming more complete and whole – the energy is generous and abundant.
Obviously Ziggy and Freddie did not see each other as nemesis nor rivals but rather, collaborators with mutual admiration … That mutual respect comes through while each exudes a sense of clear identity and style – each with a sense of security in knowing that there’s nothing to fear in sharing the stage; sharing the limelight … There’s sense of experimentation and just this incredible duo energy that’s more than a simple arithmetic of Bowie + (plus) Mercury but surging multiplier effect of Bowie x (times) Mercury, where the answer to such a dynamic formula presented itself as the echo of the … infinite.
