I thought this quote by Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh (who died in January at the age of 95) on life sums up my feelings right now:
"When you are a young person, you are like a young creek, and you meet many rocks, many obstacles and difficulties on your way. You hurry to get past these obstacles and get to the ocean.
But as the creek moves down through the fields, it becomes larger and calmer and it can enjoy the reflection of the sky. It's wonderful. You will arrive at the sea anyway so enjoy the journey. Enjoy the sunshine, the sunset, the moon, the birds, the trees, and the many beauties along the way. Taste every moment of your daily life."
- Thich Nhat Hanh
I gotta remember this. Life's too short to be in such a hurry all the time. Gotta take those quiet moments when they come, because you won't always have the option.
