Two Thoughts for the Day: September 10, 2006
The Dynamics of our Life
Throughout our lives each of us is a work in progress. We grow. We change over time. Every day, we slowly evolve into a somewhat different person than we were the day before. And while all this is happening, each day, we are hoping and praying that the choices we make are the ones we need to be making... that the course that we are charting for our life is the one which will take us in time to the places we need to be going.
Something Found, Something Lost
Sometimes we experience these "aha!" moments when we have a piercing insight into ourselves or into how the world works. That happened to me tonight when I was driving over to a friend's house to take him some camera equipment. Unfortunately, when I got over to his house and had spent some time visiting there, I lost the thought. I guess worse things have happened to me. But still, I felt a small sense of loss.
Each day I have new experiences and I see and hear things which I had not observed before. Giving some thought to these new experiences, I am able to understand a little more about myself and about the world in which I exist. With each new insight I am able to grow, to better cope and to more skillfully navigate the situations I will have to deal with. Sometimes I had to paid very dearly for a particular bit of insight and wisdom that I have collected. So you will understand if I feel regret or loss when memory fails me and I lose a thought or an idea that I may need to remember all too soon. It is almost as if I have lost a little bit of myself.
Has that ever happened to you?
