Simple beauty.
“People take different roads seeking fulfillment and happiness. Just because they are not on your road does not mean they have gotten lost.”
–Jackson Browne
Quiet. Tao Te Ching.
Great perfection seems incomplete,
But does not decay;
Great abundance seems empty,
But does not fail.
Great truth seems contradictory;
Great cleverness seems stupid;
Great eloquence seems awkward.
As spring overcomes the cold,
And autumn overcomes the heat,
So calm and quiet overcome the world.
What will be your legacy?
What is your purpose? What will be your legacy? That's one of the mysteries of life. We may live for decades never finding "success" and wondering what our purpose is. The older you get, the more it begins to look like maybe there is no purpose, and no success will come. But I'm often reminded of Grandma Moses, who began painting while in her seventies and went on to become one of the most prolific and famous artists of our time. Most people are planning to quit (retire) when they reach 70, but Grandma Moses had 30 years of her biggest successes ahead of her.
What about you? Are you planning to quit or are you just getting started?
Are you living a life of purpose or one of indifference?
What would God sound like?
There is evidence of God, or some kind of higher consciousness, all around us. God makes itself visible through nature of all kinds:
trees, clouds, wind, rain, and even the squirrels running through the park.
But if God were to try to talk to us directly using something similar to language, I think it would be a single musical note. And not any ordinary musical note, but one so powerful and beautiful and moving it would bring us almost to tears.
Often when listening to music, certain combinations of notes will come together and I’ll wonder, “Is that what God would sound like?”. It’s a nice thought, in any event!
