Sometimes it’s a reminder that our time on earth is fleeting, and it passes relatively quickly– that there’s no time like the present. In other moments, something happens that prompts a word of thanks or a feeling of gratitude. And still other times, things happen that induce rage and make one wonder how the human race has survived for this long, makes me think that we can do and be better.
One’s life experiences inform one’s perspective. On the balance, life can be blessing and curse, mysterious and mundane, joyous opportunity and endless slog. A journey of discovery and exhiliration, of love and warmth, or bleak coldness and senseless suffering.
One is blessed if they are curious and teachable, given the space to experience and react and assess, then to change when necessary and move on, armed with more knowledge and filled with better questions. This earthly life generates more questions than answers, which keeps things interesting and pushes us toward some sort of… enlightenment?
