sometimes do you ever think that is really what we are. here one day and gone the next. i mean whether you live 10 years, 50 years or even 100 years it is really just dust in the wind when you think about eternity. I think about this a lot and it makes me want to live every day like it is my last (just get in an RV or something and just go) but then something called life gets in the way and we think of every excuse why we can't do it. So we just go on day to day as time passes us by getting bogged down in one ordeal/problem after another. Something just does not seem right. Time is our most valuable natural resource and we seem to waste so much of it on things that in the long run don't really matter. In case you are wondering i just turned 47 a few days ago and am having a midlife crisis i think.
Hey Joe we all need to live each day as it is our last. Easier said then done. I have a new motor home and am looking forward to seeing this beautiful country and all that it has to offer. However like you said life gets in the way at times and we have to put our dreams on hold. As far as dust in the wind I believe we are here for a purpose. To seek out the truth,find within ourselves what that might be and live the best life we can by being humbled along the way. I do believe there is a better place for all of us and I look forward to the day when I can sit with God and ask Him so many unanswered questions I have. My human body will be dust in the wind someday as I have asked my boys to throw my ashes off of MT. Washington or in Lake Winnipesaukee or some in each. But my spirit will be with my loved ones forever. I believe!
Reds back!!!...look what the dust blew in! Red, that was absolutely beautiful. To be one with nature is to be one with yourself. (Dont know where that came from. Just popped in my head so you needed to hear that. Could you send it to my email? I want to print it out. That's how good it is. Heartfelt. ❤️
Nice Red!!! I have so many questions as well for God. I too think we were put here for a purpose and we spend a lifetime looking for it...and when we find it it gives us inner peace and serenity. I often wondered what life the world would be like if all jobs paid the same.... What woild I do and where would I live to do that job.....all I know is it would not be doing what I do and it would not be in Atlanta. Just makes me wonder sometimes..... The Chief tells me to treat my body like I will live forever and to treat my soul like I will die tomorrow.
I actually wanted to know something else but that cant be shared on a public forum my probation officer reads. lol
You know what? I've thought of the same exact stuff recently. Time seems to go so fast. It seems like just yesterday my almost 20 year old son was born. I can reach out and touch the memory of holding him that first night home and willing myself not to fall asleep because he had the hiccups and I didn't know if it was ok to lay him down and leave him with the hiccups. LOL, funny now but true story. Some days I stop and think about how I essentially wasted the whole day on nothing worth while. I really need to slow down and look at the big picture more. Enjoy the moment instead of always being go, go, go or angry or sad. Sometimes I'd just like to turn the whole world off and just sit and be ok with just sitting and enjoying doing nothing. I'll be 43 in a couple of weeks and I feel like I haven't figured it all out yet and I'm running out of time.
