The Meaning of Life, or: Loving What is

LOVE IS ENOUGH
you know how they say, love won’t pay the rent.

That’s true.

And still, it’s what we live for, when we slow down enough to admit what is making our lives wonderful.

And it’s not the love of others, though, of course, that is fine and dandy.

It’s the loving of others,
that sweetens the moments
and
stretches
our hearts out to meet this infinite miracle called life.

What does that mean?

I don’t know, or if I did, if would be just words.



This is more than words, and it
comes from now, and now is always
with us and the freedom of that
moment by moment open possibility: to love what is.
What is, ah. Always here.

And if I love it, I’m fine,
so fine it/ Life can almost


take my breath away.

And if I don’t love it:
man, can I suffer.

And even that is good: the suffering


is meant to be there: wake up,
Chris, wake up, it says,
you are suffering because you
have left the now and the
love and the connection to
yourself that is why you
were
meant to be.

Yes.


That is all.
For now.

This now.

The Meaning of Life

the meaning
of my
life
is
right now
to be
right now

happy
to be typing
these black symbols
on the white background,
the click click of fingers
on the keyboard

my breathing
coming in
and out

tired
happy
learning
a lot
each day,
as i near (tomorrow)
my 160th day of training
beyond my 160 days original

as i said yesterday
reward
yourself
by spending some time
on the New Anat Baniel Method Website

and what does her work
have to do
with the meaning
of life?

sometimes
it's fun
to go for something
you really love

and i love
learning
and helping others
and being present
and being around my son

(the son
who is thirty one
and still a sweetheart
and i did a few things right
like let him be honest
about his anger
and his "shadow" side
and loved him
when he finally,
in college had a reject Dad phase,
and kept trying to be honest
even about my wish
to keep showering him with
"good advise")

and i love this
adventure,
can i now
and now
and now

remember myself

this, today,
nowishly now,
is
meaning enough for me

and your meaning of Life??

??

and you
get to decide
the meaning
for you

love
chris
