I like to see and find the meaning in things. I’ll analyze an “it” until I’m exhausted. But this misses the point of life. The point of it all is to live in it.
My roses are beginning to bloom. So I went out to prune all the dead stems from last year. That is a task. While performing the task, are we still able to slow down and smell the roses? Can we enjoy the moment?
Most days I go for a walk. Sometimes it’s a mile or two, others it’s a full 5-10 mile hike. Life is to not analyze the distance or the path, or concern ourselves with whom or what we may encounter on that walk or hike. It is not to complete the distance, or to be as fast as you can. Life is to simply walk; see the trees, smile at the sun, laugh at the squirrels, hear the birds, bees, and insects. Encounter the wildlife and be calm.
Not everything in life is meant to be done fast. Some engagements in life are better when done slowly, gently, softly. Live in that moment and enjoy the presence of a loved one.
The whole point of it all, is to leisurely walk through the Garden of Eden. Live and Be.
