It's sad to see
the first piece of paper ad for "Back to School Sales!" Are we "back to
school" already? Where did the summer go????
So,
we've had an unusually cool summer in Chicago this year -- sometimes it
makes me feel like summer is hiding
somewhere, and I am sadly missing my most favorite season!! Still
trying to take my morning walk every day when possible, and definitely
every night when I'm not traveling. Each day, during my night walk, I
ask
myself the same questions: Did I fully enjoy today? Six months from
now, would I still remember today? What made today a special day? I've
made my effort to be more present, to be more attentive to the world
around me, and to remember to "stop and smell the roses..."
But still, time flies -- it's just a very sad truth!!!
Listen
to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the
boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and gladness:
touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it, because
in the last analysis, all moments are key moments, and life itself is
grace.
