My DNA

It is said that your physical DNA can be altered by your sexual partners. It was a huge abstinence push a few years back. I have had a poster for a long time visually detailing the multiplication of partners and the ensuing projected DNA change. The poster impacted me.  For a reason different than intended.....

 I believe that the same changes reflected above can occur in our emotional and spiritual DNA by those around us....both positive and negative. God is a God of order, of rules, of system. Relationships are powerful. Whether close or distant, acquaintance or a brief meeting, the level of impact is varied and based largely on the power in the interaction. The research and data represented in the chart intrigued me beyond the oddity of the facts.

Once we have experienced something or someone we can not  rewind time. It cannot be denied that there is no going back.We are changed. Forever.  As I have stated in a recent blog post, I am a sum of my parts.... intertwined in my future is my past and my present.

 That hugely disturbing poster has been a catalyst to intentionality in my life.  A reminder, not of sexual effectiveness, for I have been married to my first boyfriend for 13 years, have four children and frankly would not have the time for experimentation, but as a reminder of human interaction. My psychological DNA is entwined with the DNA of my relationships, effected also by the relationships I and they have had before. My chart is both deep and wide.

Grateful reflections on those I have had the ability to come in contact with continue to enhance my daily life, however brief, exceedingly defining.

I have been sitting on this post for weeks, fine-tuning it, trying to get the wording just right. But, I realize that there are no words to adequately describe the bond between humans. Our connections are illustrious, elusive impressions that logic cannot contain.  While some interactions are clear pinnacles, acknowledging the repercussion of a relationship is not always a cognitive choice. Imperceptible modifications combine to create an invisible revolution.

For some reason when I blog I want to call to the reader to action  - as if I have a large following of loyal readers, which I do not.  I want to beckon you to reflect on your people. Not just those in your inner circle. What DNA are you leaving with them? How many people are in your space? Are you leaving a lasting impact or holding back? Are you affecting forward or will you need to be buffed from the edges of peoples soul? I ask out loud here, because I ask myself those questions. And I guess I want to dialogue about it. I want to hear thoughts and perspectives. I want to know what changed YOU, and what you are doing do enhance your world.  Because as you share with me what you have experienced, who you are... than I grow, adjust, evolve....

So if you are reading.... the dozen or so of you who do.... if you want to describe the impact relationships have had IN you... please do.



And if you are just lurking.......
