Most of us live in this incessant way of rushing. Our life passes by us as we rush to get to the next thing. We work for 40, 50 hours a week for 40, 50 years so we can get to the age of retirement in our 40s and 50s so we can begin to live. Now, if you really think about it, that doesn't make sense. That shouldn't make sense. Life is not something that starts at 50. Your life is not something that you only get to enjoy for 20 years of your life if you're lucky.
And you can really see it if you're out in nature where birds are singing, creatures are crawling, seasons are changing. There's no rush, yet everything is accomplished. There's a lot we can learn from our environment. The first thing being the power of slowness, power of gentleness, power of quietness. Life is happening all around us, yet it seems like it's only us humans who feel like we need to rush through to get through life.
What kind of life is that? Is that even a life?
