Happiness

When you say, “I want to be happy,” what does that mean to you?

What is happiness? When I’m not caught in the hooks of tomorrow, nor being tormented by the past, when I’m lost and found in that one singularity in the moment called now where I experience passion without having to every define “for what.”

When I am in love and I am filled with love, but I don’t know the lover’s name, when I understand but I don’t know what it is that I have understood, when I have an answer in my lap but I don’t know what question it belongs to, when I am full, when I am full and I don’t know what it is that fills me, and I don’t care because I have no time. I am enveloped, swallowed whole by that moment called “now”.

Appreciation

There is this incredible thing called appreciation. And most people are not familiar. What does it really mean to appreciate?

We appreciate somebody opening a door for us and we go, “Thank you.” If we are lost, somebody shows us, “Oh, you just go up, turn left and 20 feet, that’s the place you want to go,” and we are like, “Oh, thank you; thank you.” We go to a restaurant, the waiter serves us nicely, he doesn’t throw things at us. Says nice things to us. To express our gratitude, we leave him a tip. We appreciate what you have done.

This power of appreciation, when it is turned for this existence, for this life - not the things that you have in this life, but the life itself. The coming and going of this breath, that, “I am alive. I exist.” That I have the capacity to feel, that I have the capacity to understand, that I  have the capacity to feel happiness in my life. That I have the capacity to be satisfied in my life. That I have the capacity to be content in my life. That I have a capacity to understand in my life. That I have the capacity to have the answers in my life.

Then, the appreciation that comes for this life is unique. And this, in my opinion, you, me, all of us, do very, very well.

The Kindness

Time is time.  You can’t accelerate it, and you can't slow it down. 

You are in this world.  You exist, one day you weren’t, today you are, one day you will not be.  You have heard me say this many times, but I can guarantee it – you don’t understand what it means.  I can guarantee it.  Because of the distractions.  When the time comes, that you lose the capacity to be distracted, and such a time is coming, then - and only then - do you begin to understand what life is about. 

How do I know this?  Have I reached that time in my life where I am not distracted?  No.  But I also know that there is somebody kind enough to let me know this.  There is somebody kind enough that leaves a little note, “Beware.  Rock ahead.” 

You see, you have to understand what this means.  The person didn’t remove the rock.  The rock is still there.  But they left a little note.  “Be careful.  There is a possibility ahead that you could tumble.”  That you could hurt yourself.  Be careful.  There is a ditch ahead. 

They didn’t fill the ditch.  They just left a note.  And that is incredibly kind.  Incredibly beautiful.  And all I have to do is read those notes.  All I have to do is look at those notes.  All I have to do is make a little effort to remember those notes.  Rock ahead.  Ditch ahead.
