The great deeption of life is to believe that we
will live for a very long time, and that makes us believe that we can put off
what should be done now till later. I told you before that we are trying to
learn the next step in our own lives, and that is to have NO plan. Funny
enough that seemes to be hard for many around us as well. We keep getting the
question "what are you up to? what are your plans?". Even though you might view
it as irresponsible or unthoughtful, think twice. How much of our lives is
filled with important issues that could surely make no difference if viewed from
the moon? How many times do I see people running like crazy, jumping over one
obstacle after the oher, and one day they fall, and wonder why did they run and
where to?
To be honest it does not feel good to work against
the programming made as I grew up; my life has always been full of ideas about
how to make a change or how to be creative in a given situation, and I love it.
I truly love to work and make a differnce. Just to go to another island and help
out this village to get a tree to be able to make some money has been great. A
mission, a sense of importance.
I do fill my day with writing and that makes my
life easier than if I had just been sitting around and wait for the next thing
to break or to make lunch for the family.
And yet, I have to live the day as it comes and
that truly makes us "seize the day". Now I'm starting to comprehend the real
feeling of fatalism.
With that comes a state of tranquility, a slower
breathing pace.
Just try it yourselfe for a moment, as you read
this, drop your shoulders, take a deep breath, hold it for a while, you are
alive! Let it go and now rush on to the next item, thank you for
reading.
