Pause. Contemplate your time on Earth so far.
Have you been truly alive?
Does the sun warm you to the bone?
Does the movement of wind against your face make you wonder where it’s been and where it’s going?
Do you delight in the touch of another human?
When the spirit of God makes its presence felt within your heart, do you bask in the deep joy and peace it brings?
When someone speaks, do you listen.
Speaking American English, we say hello, and it is merely a greeting. In many languages, the word of greeting connotes a meaning much like, “My soul reaches out to touch your soul.” Our overly rational culture misses out on the richness of being.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to try life.
