“We just find ourselves here. With our individual birth we just “wake-up” and discover ourselves in the midst of an extraordinary world of beauty and sorrow. All around us we see exquisite and exquisitely subtle orders played out effortlessly. From the lazy descent of fall leaves to the slow unfolding of cloudscapes in empty blue skies, it is all just here and we are just here to see it.

Day after day we wake again to find the world still here, waiting for us as we play out our own small dramas with their small triumphs and terrible heartbreaks. And then, remarkably, astonishingly, just here just ends.”

life. in all it’s miraculousness of being here. I think I do a fair job of keeping in mind that we are, after all, just standing on a piece of rock, flying through universe at ungodly speeds. we get so easily wrapped up in our little drama’s. our beautiful planet is turning to ruins due to the fact that majority of the population frequently chooses to forget this fact. I have known so many to get upset and angry at life, I have been there too.

once in a while I lay awake at four in the morning, having a little freak out about what am I doing with my life, what should I be doing with my life and who is measuring? who am I living the life for? in all of it’s amazing glory, I too forget, that after all, we merely “wake up” into it one day and then amazingly, one day, it just ends for us. we are a fleeting moment in time, a fleeting moment in history, perhaps our lives mattered to a few. maybe they mattered to many, but in context, we’re still living an extraordinary, magical experience of simply being here, living, on this small planet, with no real purpose.

who put me here? why am I here? but I have no duty. no higher deity is making sure I am filling my quest. the amazing thing about this life is that no one is ever coming to tap on the shoulder and asking: how are you contributing to this world? are you being the best you can be?

I live in a magical place, in a magical world and I have magical life. sadly, I know I am a minority. I love this earth and I am truly blessed to be alive in this time of the world. it truly is an amazing time to be alive and to experience.

I am thankful for this blessed life.
