Sometimes the days of my life seem to flash by quickly. It is almost like a high speed film. At times, I don't know which end is going which way. It just feels to me like there is no tomorrow.
Sometimes in life, it is hard to make sense of everything. There are moments that are confusing. There are moments that appear very clear, and then fade away. At times, I get the feeling that I just can't see everything, but yet I am living each moment as if I am.
Some days I long for answers, but it seems life is so busy, there is no time to hear them. I wonder and question just how I reconcile time and purpose together. They almost seem like strange bedfellows. Yet, it feels like the pieces of a puzzle that should go together.
Stopping to smell the roses of life is essential. Even though I thought I did this, I may be skipping this moment all too often in my life. Even a life that doesn't seem to flow well, still needs time to step away and rest. Life still needs to recharge and unhitch from the stresses of life.
Starting my morning in daily meditation helps. Yet, I sometimes think that what I write makes no difference. It is like it is meaningless to me.
Even though it may not be filled with all the answers I need at that moment, a morning meditation time is my way of stopping and allowing myself to connect with all that I need. It is the moment where I allow everything into my life without prejudice, fear, or the business of my day and with an open heart. It marks the beginning of focusing my moments, rather then allowing them to just pass me by.
I'm grateful that I stop in this moment of the day.
