This questioning title has tenaciously lingered in my mind for
the past few months. Precociously tethered within a shallow
stigma and pushed to the cliff of distasteful obsolescence; it
seemingly mustered one final effort within my mind to be heard.
It's voice almost now a muted whisper bends my mind into a
straining listening poise. I begin to sense a long lived pain
and deepening sorrow for a passing away of what once use to be.
Introspectively my heart receives a string of words that seem
more like a benediction, causing a response of unknown sadness.

Oh so common, left have you your days, 'twas that
which seemed so common now has passed away. Left behind so
strangely alone, no one to notice, no one to mourn.
In today's Reality our lives seem to be harbored in a momentous
effort to be everything but common. Consider and ponder with me
a moment. Common is not what one avidly seeks nor is taught as
being generally accepted. Common is widely looked upon as a
social disorder in banality. So many clich's have been
assimilated that we carry a pre-disposition against that which
may even appear as common. Being associated with any form of
commonness is to be ostracized in a world that is now held in a
blazing stream of mass materialism and a propagation of success
at all cost. Common is usually a kin to the poor and the
ignorant. Common sets a indelible mark upon a human being like a
tattoo of distain. After all, we must strive to raise above the
common. We must free ourselves from the benign background of the
common. We must scale an upward ladder out of our common linage
to leave our mark upon this world. We must not succumb to the
common, nor allow it to entrench us in its ordinary paths. We
must, we must ...
Oh so common, 'twere a Friend before your time,
wistful acceptance yet wanly pushed aside. A paling glance now
too faded away, falling on beyond such bounds till forever never
stays.
Unfortunately, an out of touch hybrid Reality is trying to
replace all forms of commonality. Producing in its stead an
homogenized social class system hidden behind layered masks of
separation, quite unlike any other. Promoted by a sense of
intense dissatisfaction and an inner emptiness that cannot be
filled; it has usurped the motto that "More means best; and to
be the best, you have to have more". More of what you might ask?
Simply, more than the common! No longer is it adequate or savvy
to be a 'Butcher, Baker, a Candle Stick Maker'. You must be the
only 'Butcher', the only 'Baker', the only 'Candle Stick Maker'.
You must outwit, outsmart, out do, out shine, out class. You
must, you must ...
Oh so common, I wish I would have known, for verily
you displeased the pride that lingers in perceptions wise So
even now to find the common thread in me I have to ask, since I
cannot see.
Seemingly forgotten is the very realistic fact that when all is
said and done, we all are very common. Take away the
superficialities and veneers of traditions, heritage, education,
careers, finances, talents, social status, beliefs and mores.
Take it all away and what is left is just a Human Being. Plain
and simple. A Human Being, male, female, young, old. But all in
all, just another Human Being. Friend, that's you, that's me! It
leaves us, without any schism or reveling. It leaves us, without
having to prove anything to each other. It leaves us. You. Me.
Perhaps, we can talk? Do you think we could actually

conversation? I dare say, a whole lot more than before. I dare
say yes, we could.
Think about this and consider such wonderful options. Is this
what being common is? Have I heard it's plea? Have I finally
considered it's truth in my own life? Could it be so simple?
What is wrong with being common? Nothing! Simply nothing. I
believe I will accept it myself. Because I almost missed it.
Yes, even in my own life. Yes, it almost was ready to leave me.
Oh, I'm so glad I listened one more time. I am common, and I do
see what it means now. It is all in the mind's eye of perception
and understanding. It is all in how I see another Human Being.
It is my outlook upon the Human Being right beside me and how I
perceive myself and them. Together or separate. The human bonds
of commonness that intwine each soul. Each of us a common Human
Being upon this Earth. No more, no less.
