Life Surrounds................

Life surrounds us, it is us, yet so many of us fear it. Some spend their time running from age to age either wanting to be older, or younger, never content with being, with living.... A conversation has prompted this post, one that made me think that there are so many people fearful of death, so fearful that as they get older they speak about the limited time that they have left, more years behind them than ahead of them. How tragic, for these people never live their life, they spend it agonising over the fast approaching end of their days, often squirreling away all their money and time for a future that they will never enjoy because their fear will see them end their life story before they have time to live at all. Life is about living, feeling the pulse of the Universe pulsating through us at every second we walk this earth, embracing the Now, living in the moment, knowing that there are goals we wish to achieve, yet just noting them, not obsessing over them, changing them when we have shed a part of our self that is no longer relevant for that particular lesson, free enough to recognise the metamorphosis into a more aware person. For me life is about joy, happiness, experience, love, awareness, connection and transcendence. Whenever I am not living I get ill, my body becomes unbalanced thus working out the disharmony through illness, alerting me to the inner turmoil of a life that has ceased to beat to the rhythm of the Universe, spiralling me out of control and if left unattended into the dense world of unimaginable ignorance if I choose to ignore the signs. Our modern society has lost its harmony, it is an existence based on false stimulus and other peoples dreams, most people don't even know why they do the things they do, they simply do them because it is what is expected of them. Those of us who pulsate to a different vibration than the vast majority are seen as weirdo's, and are thus ridiculed for our unique outlooks and our failure to conform to what society deems as normal. Yet the normal manipulators are creating a dying race, one where you are shown and told daily what it is you must, do, eat, say, wear, be, weigh, think, own......... A society where thinking for ones self and regaining the inner harmony of the Universe is viewed as mad. Nonetheless, to loose our inner harmony is to loose the self, and to loose the self is to live life as a dead person..................................

I have been confronting this issue myself, lately.
My boss had a stroke in October. Initially, they felt that it wasn't that bad, that he would recover and be able to live/enjoy in the now.
Since then, he has rapidly declined. No longer is there joy in his life. People make decisions for him and he looks gray. I feel bad for him. I do. But, it is like he doesn't care. He has resigned his fight for life.
Thank you for reminding me to live in the present and be happy in life.
