Mountains and their shadows are more enjoyable to me than any sermon I've heard. Knowledge definitely isn't from words as much as it is the watching and waiting as the world evolves around us. The world itself is the most patient of all teachers.
Once Tagore told us, death is nothing but a transformation of our life. So don't feel any kind of fear psychosis about death. It is another normal transformation of our lives. The blogger brilliantly describes these in this blog post
This quotation told us about a deep love and curiosity for both life and death. Loving life felt unintentional and remained tie to various joyful experiences, emotions, and connections that gave the meaning to existence.
Although the author didn't claim to love death, there interest with it as a life-changing process rather than an end.
Embracing both life and death brought wisdom and harmony, suggesting that to love fully means to appreciate all sides of existence.
Do we credit Shakespeare for saying the world/life is a stage? Sure, sometimes we may be insincere, acting if you will, but many of us cherish life. I don't believe we are cynics. Most of us do find meaning.
Nice comments and thanks, Bernie Celebrating 25 Years! and JACE.
I was and still am very close to my cousins around my age when younger. Nowadays, I'm just as close to the ones who are 10 to 15 years younger than me. But then I'm the second oldest of my generation. The one older than me by ten months lives in Netherlands. A good number of my cousins are deceased now. And I had a huge number of them when we were all young.
Though my dad had two sisters, the three of them produced 12 cousins; my mom's side led to 15 cousins. Because of the geographical location of all the families--Maine, Maryland, Vermont, New York, Michigan and Missouri--it seemed the only time we would get together was for a family tragedy, like my grandfather's passing. I can't recall we ever had a family reunion.
I envy the fun time and closeness you experienced with your cousins.
Your situation was very much like my older sister's. She was an only child (though she also grew up occasionally with my dad's kids from his first marriage), but she was very close to my older cousins (who are her age). They act like siblings when they're together. It's always fun listening to stories from when they were kids. My sister is 15 years older than me and my older cousins are roughly around that age range too. I have some other cousins who are around my age too (siblings of those older cousins lol). I'm glad that your cousins helped bring joy and happiness to your life.
Witchy Woman Thanks. I actually sat down to write something funny about a messy cupboard. After I came up with "I flick the switch," the whole thing took the opposite turn and I went with it. My mind is tricky!
