Living Well ~

If we really spent our lives correctly, then there would never be enough time in a day to do everything one needs to do. Everything that we did would be done for a specific purpose. We would run out of time, not because we are toiling on a task we run out of energy for, but because we love what we do so much- there would not be enough time to do more . . . so many people miss out on this. If we live for love, though, and to be in love, then we will spend our time well, no matter what is taking up space . . . 

Resolve to bide your time correctly. 

Up in the Dunes . . .

[08/18/2015]- Silver Lake, MI -

          Today during our three day, 'before-China relaxer,' I asked my family to take me to the Sleeping Bear Dunes. Feeling contemplative, I climbed to the top of the dunes and looked up at the sky- I just sat there, and looked around myself- there were hikers, and teams of jeeps lining the hills. And, for one moment, I was stunned. It seems, that after all those long months I spent working in a day to day, butt-stuck-to-the-chair job, there was still a world out there. The wonders and the beauties of it were all-encompassing, and they were mine- I thought of going to China, and all of the things that I will soon leave behind. And in that moment, I thought, 'if I could have just one moment like this- once every week, or even monthly- then it's all worth it.' No matter what your religious beliefs, this is why we live. This ecstasy, and this pure joy . . . it makes it all worth it. No matter what pain I must visit, I can always come back . . . and I can remind myself why I live. This means everything.
