It’s hard to wrap your mind around life. As I drive down the freeway headed to work, the sun splits the sky apart and I feel covered in grace. Everyday seems a struggle toward some sort of understanding of some sort of something… we’re always coming or going. Standing on the edge of something bigger or standing on the edge because we’re at the end. Suddenly I feel grateful just to stand. The sun beckons me. It dances across my dashboard and then slides behind a cloud. My mind floods with a million times I’ve looked to the sun. It’s constant reminder. The days keep coming, and the days keep going. It just pauses for nothing. Watching things happen around me. Marriages fail, babies are born, people moving, children growing, weddings, last breath. Everything is spinning. The sun is sliding. Things are good, bad, indifferent… they all play their part, these roles in the kaleidoscope of life. They leave tattoos on your mind.
Just Thinking

Every time I get too contemplative, I rent Monty Python’s “Meaning of Life”. That generally clears things right up.
I suppose that why they call it ” Life”.
Tapping into your inner Zen this fine day, I see. Nicely done Jeanna. When you peer into the heavens, it really does put a lot into perspective.
Beautiful Jeanna.
We’re all just the stories hoping to be told one day. So, never forget to be where you are while you’re there. Too many people go out of their way to be completely oblivious of the present while thinking about the past, or future.
And don’t dig too deep for meaning, it’s so damn easy to lose your shovel in the mud.
I think this is why Buddhists suggest that we focus on this moment, then the next, then then next. When I start thinking about “all of it,” I get a bit overwhelmed and have a need to watch Dr. Who. He always gets into more trouble than I could ever get into.
I love that. It is very true. The son plays with your mind and heart. Thats why you always feel blessed and grateful to stand. I love you!
