cherokee's dwelling place

Twitter has been around since 2006 (5 years ago) but I was never attracted to joining twittersphere because I do not see the point of tweeting…where I am (who cares?), what I am eating (again, who cares?), what I am doing (I bet others have other better things to do.), what I am thinking (uh, I need some privacy), what I may be whinining about (not really necessary for others to know) and the list goes on of things and thoughts I have seen that are tweeted on famous twitter accounts.

I have been asked and encouraged by some to join this famous social networking trend but I am always confronted with the question, why should I? Is there a greater purpose than to just be on the loop always? I felt that joining should have a noble purpose. Of course, I speak only for my purpose and not others. I have great respect for whatever purpose others have in mind for joining for I believe in the complex beauty of perspectives.

And so why did I join last Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2011? Overwhelmed by the meditative thought I had when I woke up that day – Mary is the most beautiful woman who has walked the face of the earth, I was enlightened and inspired to share good thoughts. In a lightbulb moment, I thought of twitter. Why not? Amidst the stressful noise of some irresponsible twitters, I finally have found a noble purpose – to share good thoughts that would necessarily not be about where I am, what I am eating, what I am doing, what I am thinking, what I may be whining about, etc. But spur of the moment meditations I consider as whispers of the Divine.

May I inspire you in one way or another through the tweets or good thoughts that I will share as the Divine whispers them to me each day. And yes, through His grace…may I always be able to hear it.

Follow me @cruisincherokee and may I always tweet for His greater glory.
