Life and Death...The Time is Now

I have a lot swirling around in my head….

I have for the last few weeks…

Life and death….

Within the last few months I have known of/heard of five people who have died….

One of cancer

Two of suicide

One from a heart attack

One from an accident

All of these people died…in my opinion……way before their time…

Of course a long time ago I let go of the idea that I ran the universe and that my opinion counted in matters like these…

 How many tragic reminders do I need....do we need

The questions I reflect upon.....

Am I living the life that I should be living or am I stagnant

Am I true to my ideals...

Could I be doing more...Should I be doing more...

Do I walk the walk…not just talk the talk

Am I reminding myself every day to be patient, kind and compassionate to myself, my family, my friends, strangers

Am I going the extra mile...

Do I remember what is really important…

Am I getting sucked up into a meaningless, materialistic and plastic life...

Am I behaving in ways that remind me of what is important…

These are interesting questions that I find myself in deep reflection over…

It is time to stop letting tragedy refocus my attention

For the most part I am living the life I feel guided to live…

But there are some big chunks of things I know I am called to do that can’t be put off much longer….

In my opinion I will have 40 more years of great living left….

My opinion isn’t what matters…and I can’t count on that time...

I have unfinished business to attend to and have a good understanding my actions from this point forward is what really matters...

We don't need any more tragic events as reminders.......Do we????
