I was driving home from the gym this morning, watching the traffic and listening to the radio, when I had one of those moments...
I realized just how precious this gift of life is. I have heard that a thousand times and sort of scoffed or dismissed mostly. But today for some reason I got to thinking about just how short this little lifetime is, and how -if I am not careful- I will completely miss it.
I don't want to spend the years I have here running as fast as I can after one thing or the next. Or worse yet, telling myself I'll relax and enjoy life after I (insert accomplishment here)...
No one really knows what we are doing here or what happens once its over but there is so much magic in the interaction with people and the earth that it seems like a waste to focus my attention on how to keep up with Mr. & Mrs. Jones.

I agree whole heartedly. I have a condo in north scottsdale amidst a sea of what look to me like mansions - all I can think of when I look at the big houses is that I'm an artist and following my bliss rather than an externally imposed idea of "The Jones'".
oops, forgot to sign my post - kk
