The Meaning of Life-Who Cares?

According to the ancient Yoga sages
Questioning the meaning of life
While living
Is like questioning the meaning of a roller coaster
In the middle of a roller coaster ride.

Or, like questioning the meaning of love
In the middle of lovemaking.

Who cares when something is so amazing?

The amazement IS the meaning.
The amazement IS the ultimate reality.
The amazement IS the life-force of the universe
All around us and within us
Fa beyond our ability
To absorb or comprehend.

The amazement IS what some call God
And the ancient sages called Brahman.

In the midst of the ups and downs
Of life and love
Just relax, breathe deeply
And experience the infinite thrill
of the amazing ride.

I am head over heels infatuated with music. I love to sing. I love to go to shows and to see this makes me happy.

Pink moon. The full moon of April. Also known as the Full Sprouting Grass moon. Both names indicate the sprouting of seed and the explosion of bright beauty found in the phlox (pink) and other flowers rising for the spring debut.  Other names for this month’s celestial body include the Egg Moon, and among coastal tribes the Full Fish Moon, because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn.

Back outside in the gardens

"March is a tomboy with tousled hair, a mischievous smile, mud on her shoes and a laugh in her voice."
- Hal Borland

Spring

"It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade."

- Charles Dickens 

Taking care of the land base

"The primary, if not he only be measured by which we will be judged by those who come after us is going to be the health of the land base.

They’re not gonna give a shit as to whether we voted democrat, republican, green, anarchist, didn't vote at all. They’re not gonna give a shit whether we recycled. They’re not going to give a shit whether we were violent or not violent. They’re not gonna give a shit as to whether we were nice people or not nice people. They’re not gonna give a shit as to whether we wrote great books or made great films or did great talks or anything else. They’re gonna care about whether they can breathe the air and drink the water.

We can all fantasize whatever we want about some groovy eco socialist utopia with free love everywhere, it doesn’t matter if you can’t breathe the air and you can’t drink the water. The only measure by which any generation will be judged is the health of the land base that they pass on."  Endgame – Derrick Jensen

I could go off on how easy I get pulled into my gagets (cell phones, computer, juicer, etc) or the clothes I wear, the pretty linens I want on my bed, the color of paint on the wall creating just the perfect ambiance  but when it gets down to it can I look around and see how simplicity, and growing my own foods, and spending less, driving less,  and so and so on will only help those who come after us? Our children, their children’s children and not let it be a cliché but truly feel it down in my bones? I can only try. And keep trying. Will you?
