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.
