Happiness Remembered

I remember the day that happiness woke up; there was a tingling all over, like a glass of lemonade, a bubbling excitement of the things that we were doing and an understanding that life was fun to live. Happiness woke up after a long week of work and challenges, where we had mistakenly become embroiled in goals that were spinning around us like a whirlwind, which faded and dispersed as the calmness of its observing eye spread to the surroundings. Sharing a glance and a smile with everyone we met, relaxed in our centres, melting like time, as tomorrow vanished, chasing yesterday beyond the horizon, all we were left with was now, a moment to enjoy, clear in our minds, warm in our hearts and facing life shoulder to shoulder.

I remember the day that happiness woke up; it was now, and when I stop to remember, the stillness envelops, the outside joins the inside and in the quiet I can feel my own breath and sometimes even my heartbeat, relaxed and light, clear in our minds and warm in our hearts, now letting go of that anticipation because it has happened, the sun rose, the clouds dispersed and today happiness woke up.

Forget me Knot

I have just tied a knot in my handkerchief because I had forgotten that time, and have just been reminded; do you remember? Yes it was that time when life was exciting and each day we wondered how to squeeze out the last drop; sounds good and smells delicious; that was life, actually that was today, and I would say that my memory was short, but maybe my eyes were just closed and my mind somewhere else, and I just didn't here the call of nature, the song bird's tune beckoning me out of my sleep where the wolves are hunting me for my past indiscretions.

Becoming God

Some do to look good
Others do because they know they should
Some do because they've been told it's right
Others do because inside there shines a light

Is good a rule to follow, or an acknowledgement that we know how the other person must feel?

To do for rules and/or prestige is to be human.
To do for pure unadultered, unbiased compassion is to be Godly.

Live Richly. Experience Life.

Live Richly. Experience Life.

The Meaning of Life!

Philosophy is the last refuge of that endless search and effort to add worthwhileness - value for money - for those passing moments we spend.

We could just be materialistic, and try to own as much property we can before reaching our final destination. Alternatively, we could be experiential, and try to get the most highs before we are laid down low. Some try to be the most altruistic, ahh, the sweet things people will say when they're gone. Then there are those, the pious ones, who try to score God points, in a faint hope they won't dare to question, that one day they will wake up in heaven, and get to enjoy all the pleasures that passed them by during their waking days. Philosophers want to own an explanation, a theory, to understand life, to create the formula for living.

What is the meaning of air? It is quite useful stuff for sure, breathing and the like, but that's not the same thing as meaning is it?
