We are always measuring everything we do or fail to do by the time we are in the experience. Never is our existence pure and unadulterated experience of simply BEING...
When did we transform from human BEiNGS to Human DOINGS?! It seems odd that the first casualty in the process of living by the clock is our own life. We lose the richness of our life to poverty of moments in it. We forget the whole and divide ourselves into a million, zillion- infinite moments of a life we never did live.
We forget the smile that brought us together.
We forget that first moment that we hold our first born.
We forget the first kiss, the first grip of tiny fingers holding our finger tight- hanging on for dear life.
We forget the first hug, the tiny feet that pattered through our life and our hearts and grew into big ones.
We forget all of that.
And remember the time when our children must begin their own flight.
And remember that we must go on and on... and on...
Because time never stops for anyone!
But- what really IS time?
Is it the rising of the sun and the setting of the moon? Or is it the heart beat and the breath?
Is it the closeness, or the distance?
Is it the rate of living a life or the rate of approaching the inevitable end of one?
And WHY must Time define what and how we spend our days, hours and seconds? Why not 'take out some time' and hold it in the palm of our hand before it slips away into eternity!? Why not let each moment MATTER- not just count but really matter!
We must learn to live and to love. To hold and to be held. To find and be found.
And go on loving and living in the process in a manner that befits a divine being.
And let us really let go of the anger we feel over little and the not so little incidents in life. Do we ot suffer more from the ager itself that from the cause of the anger? Everything has a grand design- even when we are not aware of it- life has a way of unfolding itself. Life will not wait.
Never hesitate to tell a loved one you love them- you may not have another moment!
Never wait to make a difference- THAT may be what you came here for!
Life is precious. PERIOD. The moments do make it rich- but the wealth is not in the moment but in the mind of the person living that moment.
To a rich, fulfilling life...
