What do you think of the world
2010 03 20
What if the change you want to see in your life depends upon acting in or at one particular moment in time, but in that brief instant, your distraction, your feelings about your past or present, clouded your vision obscuring the truth and sending you down a path in the opposite direction. Are you sure that all that you want is not mistaken? What things in your life are trying to improve?
Is it possible for us to change despite our feelings of failure, or other missteps?
I am often struck by how easily we all become overly conscious of the passage of time and how we believe that it unfolds before us. Do you think this way?
Do you feel that your existence is mathematically formulated in a linear way and ever will be?
Does it matter?
Then why do we structure our lives that way? Or judge ourselves and others using this limited measure?
Certainly, each of us have felt a moment of magic, - of beauty - feeling so strong that all that has passed before or ever will melts away. time stands still.
Cultivating a life that is filled with this connection to timelessness and beauty, I believe is an essential part of being human. Can we not devise a way to better "see this" journey than simply "time"?
My daughter said something the other day that changed everything for me. When asked what she thinks of the world,
her reply was:
"The world loves me."
