Life - one step at a time
Live life one step at a time…
When was the last time you saw stars in the dark black sky?
When last did you see the sun set and the moon rise?
When last you saw the moon fade and the sun come to sky with all the glory?
When was the time when you got up at dawn and saw the deep orange streak in the otherwise dark sky?
When was the last time you threw stones in a pond to count the ripples?
When was the last time you saw a bird bathing in a puddle of water, with wings wet and beak dry?
There are a lot of such ‘whens’ in your life the only answer to whom is ‘I don’t know’ or ‘I don’t remember’. That teaches us a lot. We have forgotten to live, to relish the joy of life nature gave us, to relish the reason to live, to see around us the plenty of beauty that abounds all around. Birds, bees, flowers. We have lawns but no time to appreciate the flowers that we grow. We miss all joys for one that somehow misses us. We fail to enjoy the journey to reach a destination that we all know is certain at the end of this life. Still we try to live life by leaps and bounds, by jumps and kick starts, by running around and sprinting. Then we get tired and when we reach the end we think why did I rush. Lost out friends, people who loved me and people whom I loved. I never had the time to say to my brother I love you, to my dad and mom, I adore you, to my spouse I can’t live without you and to my friends You are the only things I earned in life.
Say them today, before you go so far away in quest of success that success seems meaningless without the people you want around.
Live life one step at a time. Cook your meals on a slow fire to enjoy the taste the flame brings.
