The more you sense the rareness and value of your own life, the more you realize that how you use it, how you manifest it, is all your responsibility. We face such a big task, so naturally we sit down for a while.
I love this. I re-read it a few times, and feel like I need to continue to re-read it, because it's true, and we can all benefit from its wisdom. Perhaps that is part of the genius of the blogging community: we invite one another to come and sit down for a while, and listen, as we face this big task together.

ReplyDeleteThanks.
From now on when people ask me, "what happened?" I'm going to say I just need to sit down for a while to ponder the rarity of my life!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I LOVE this quote. It is such a beautiful antidote to the frenetic mentality of our culture.

ReplyDeleteGod, that is beautiful. I have been sitting down for a long time it seems. I don't want to get up. Oh, I am tired.
ReplyDeleteWho is the lovely woman in the photo?
I'm sitting down. And I can't get up.
