“it was the best of times; it was the worst of times”
Actually it is the paradox of times. We are living paradoxes.So busy being busy and falling further behind. We have more convenience but more on our plate. We make more money but have less of it. It is hard to make sense from the confusion at hand. Are you paying close attention to work but overlook particulars at home?
Why is it that we may have a longer life than our ancestors but live with a shorter fuse? We have bigger houses with a smaller family; more consultants to mend increased problems. We travel across the world but don’t walk across the street to see our neighbor. In general we are a society that has increased our net worth but value life less.
Following the line of least resistance becomes our norm as we wearily trudge on, driven by some innate desire to do so. Why does this life seem to fly by? Has God turned all the clocks a few minutes faster each year? Maybe He does slowly speed up time (another paradox) and we unknowingly spin our lives accordingly.
Yet in all this we can still be stilled by the still. Sit or stand and pour one for you and one for your friend (even if he’s make-believe). Think of nothing other than being the glass. Get some perspective with some time to reflect and slow down the pace. Let your heart and soul unwind. Put on some suitable music. Go surf at ‘life.calm’ and learn to really enjoy your good fortune. We must take the time to relax otherwise the time will be taken from us. It would not be pleasing to hear ‘Nessun Dorma’ played on the kazoo but that’s how our inattentiveness can affect us and fool with our perception.
The horizontal bar of life still intersects with the vertical bar of our desires;but the moments of stillness beckon… sshh.. quiet.. listen
