The fresh morning air.

The fresh morning air

Today is Saturday . I had a very good night of sleep. Usually, i am still still sleeping at this time on working days.
I had a good Japanese dinner with my wife and friends last night.  My daughter M was not free as she had a college  outing. 

Yes. The air was fresh as I lie in bed writing this feeling. Most of the time , i am rushing through my life . Either working or tired out flat on my bed. It is really a rare occasion having the leisure time to smell the fresh air. The feeling is like resting after a marathon. It is the same feeling after every heavy week of work.

Years will just pass if we rush through life. Just like driving  our car  very fast and when we look outside our car windows ,the scene out there is blur and unattractive. Our mind's focus is on our next activity instead of the present. If we slow down our car, the scene outside will be more clearer and attractive。We can see more details and be aware of the irony in life. If we gets deeper insight, we realized life is a big joke.
So much twisted and turn , ups and downs , yet the end is the same. Impermanence.

What is out purpose in life? Winning a rat race ? Getting rich and famous ? It is the fresh morning air.fresh and full of zest. Starting of a race through the marathon of life. When we gets nearer to the end of the day, we will realize  the staleness of the whole process. However, it depends on what we do in the day. If we have enjoyed the process, we will still be fresh as if we still have the morning air with us.

Let us ponder moment and dwell deep inside us to decide how we should  to spend today . Rushing through or slow down the scenes and enjoy the moments  before our time is over. It is our choice whether to end our day with freshness of the morning air still  inside us.

Namaste
