I've been thinking. And writing. And meditating. I'm beginning to understand more and more how this life works. All of last year I was wondering; "why me?" Why is it that I've had to endure three deaths in five months and more trauma than most people get in five years? What did I do to deserve this? What's the point in losing the people closest to you?
All this time I've been asking "Why me?" but... Why not me? Why not you? Why not all of us? We live in a reality where death is an absolute certainty. Everybody dies. Why are we shying away from the life changing truth that lies in death and loss and life?
We get uncomfortable. We haven't been taught how to deal with pain. All we know is our own conditioned story and every day we work hard to polish it and make it appear perfect. But I know now, it's not about creating a perfect reality. It's not about finding peace in everything we do all the time. It's not even about happiness. As long as we cling to the idea that life is supposed to be anything at all - this or that, that or this - we are going to be disappointed. We are going to get hurt. There is no planning what is ahead. Life is a grand surprise. A big adventure. And no matter how hard we try, we can't prepare for it! We can practice yoga and we can meditate and we can work our way through past hurts and we can be kind and we can do our best to be good people. But we cannot predict what lies ahead. Think the meaning of life is being happy? Perhaps, but the meaning of life is also to be sad. The meaning of life is to FEEL. To take each moment as it comes. To let go and enjoy the ride. When joy arrives, be grateful but don't cling to it. When pain arrives, do the same. Be grateful because it's part of the adventure. It holds great meaning. But don't cling to it; don't be a martyr. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Be grateful that you are part of the magic of this life. Be grateful for your ability to heal. Open up to everything life brings you and know that nothing is permanent and that's a wonderful thing. Sadness or joy. Happiness or pain. There is beauty in the unknown.
Just look at this morning's sunrise. How could I ever have expected it?
