Essence

This is the way it feels today...

The essence of life is not something that can be found packaged or bottled, or at the end of any long journey.
It is rather seen in the adouring eyes of your lover.
Heard in the laughter of children.
Smelled in the air after an early autumn rain.
Felt in the warm touch of sand running through your toes.  Or the chill as you walk bare foot in the snow.

There is no definition, no description, no explanation. 
There is only the strangely exciting moment when you experience these things - often for the hundredth time - as if they were the first.

The esence of life is captured within you the moment you gaze back into those eyes.
Fill your lungs with that air.
Bask in the joyful sound - or better yet join in the play of those children!

You are truly living when you walk more often with your shoes off!

Looking, seeing, hearing, touching - LOVING
Never allowing the everyday moments and happenings to become mundane.

Life is not a conquest.
It's not even a quest!
It's an experience.
Meant to be savoured and cherished.
Meant to be tasted.  Used as if it were the warmest cloak on the coldest ,darkest night.
RELISHED

Life is about loving
It's about hurt and forgiveness
Hard work and beautiful rewards.
Life is about giving and never looking back.

Life is about all of the things we most often forget.
Patience- Tolerance -Playfulness
Honesty - Humility - Emotion

Life is an endless stream of choices, consequences and memories.
For even the smartest,  and most lucky
The key is the pay attention - listen closely - be willing to accept the consequences
AND most of all, LOVE the rewards.
