Time to think and wonder
I don't know whether it is my age or my natural inclination these days but I spend a lot of my time wondering about life in general and people I have known, the experiences I've had and what does it all mean.
Maybe it’s because I have spent so much of my spell on this Earth being busy and never really taking time to smell the Rose's that nature is making me reflect on what has gone on. I can recommend this thinking as a hobby as it is very soothing, in fact I asked Mrs White hair the other day if she would mind if I went into the Mountains for several years to contemplate my navel, she said No!, and when was I going to fit the new shower rail that she had brought weeks ago.
I just sighed and went and got my tools.
The Devil does he find work for idle hands?
But that is the world all over, we all have something to do, it is like an old man’s beard, it just keeps on going. We are told from a young age that we must be busy and keep working and that the Devil finds work for idle hands.
I'm not sure he does, mainly because I have been fortunate to meet some contemplative types in my time and they all seem very pleasant and saintly as well as very well behaved and happy.
So why do we have to keep so busy all of the time? What is wrong with sitting and doing nothing?
The answer I have come up with is NOTHING.
There I said it, in my opinion as a person who was once obsessed with activity and doing things that sitting quietly alone and reflecting on anything you like is good and a habit well worth nurturing.
So why do I reason this answer?
The honey coated razorblade of life
Very simple really, after filling most of my life with activity and things and doing what I thought right I have come to the conclusion that life is a very precious thing and in particular the Human life mainly because I'm one of them.
We take it so much for granted, but if you took time to reflect on what had to happen for us to be born at all it suddenly becomes a wonderful scenario. If you really reflect on the wonder's of the natural World and the sheer complexity of everything that makes up the whole of existance it is totally incredible and humbling.
I'm not even advocating religion or spirituality must be at the heart of things, i'm just saying just take a little time to slow down and look, nothing more.
It is also so easy to get caught up in all the negativity and busyness in our lives that we waste the time we have here. Yes life isn't easy I grant you but it doesn't have to be nose to the grindstone 24/7.
Our lives are like Honey coated razor blades there is sweetness and grief, there is pleasure and pain, there are two sides to the coin the yin and yang of existence.
Yes the media is full of stories of Riots and economic crisis of famine and war and earning a living and paying your way is difficult ,we know that.
But just make a little time everyday to be grateful for life and this precious Human existence and try and remember that it is not all bad news there is much to be thankful for on this beautiful blue Planet spinning around the cosmos.
It does no harm to slow down just for a little while and relax.
Sitting with my wonderful Spaniel companion's
For instance while I sit here gently typing away my two young Spaniels are curled up beside me fast asleep and I have Debussy playing quietly in the background as I watch the rain from my window.
Aaaaahhhh! What peace, me and the Universe are seriously at one today.
Now all I have to do is think of an excuse why I haven't put up that shelf she asked me to do.
Keep smiling everybody, happy days

Exactly. If people think their life is all about work they are fools, it is not about work, or about making money, it is about how you enjoy the time you have with less money.

Hello Mr.White Hair,
Nice hearing from your personal experience.
The fact about life is to be happy with what you are doing.

Such wise words my friend, and a wonderful image of Skipper and Honey too. Dogs always know when there is a time to play and a time to rest..(My dog Raff, just loves the time to rest bit!) lol, as you have pointed out before, our animals can be great teachers as we go through this life of ours.. Well written, wonderful humour, you are a constant joy to read, WHO..
