Saturday's Rambling Thoughts
Today is a day to meditate, cogitate, and just plain think. I have been thinking about a movie I saw last night about Jung and Freud. They were the first to really start dealing with the mind, coming to terms with what influences one. One thing that comes to my mind is that one must constantly nourish the mind, check its state, and even change course on where it's going. Along with this one might even acquire some self knowledge which will take us a long way to understanding ourselves and others. It is our thoughts that count not the latest fashion we are wearing. Think about it? What is the most important thing to learn in our time on this earth?

Life is a Wonderful Experience
Once again, here I am--wondering who I am and what to write. At times it seems there is not enough time to do all I want and seem to need to do before I leave this earth.
Truly, life is a wonderful experience each day, bringing new ideas, new things to learn, new people to meet, new places to go. How can I do it all? The answer, of course, and sometimes seems even banal is to live in the moment and make each moment count. How do I know if I am making each moment count? Do I line up all that I think and do and give a value to each thought and activity or do I blindly go on not aware of the things I want to do? Questions about how to lead a life will always be floating around, people questioning themselves, other times assuring themselves that indeed they are on their right path, theirs alone.
Before I can ever know what is my right direction, as a matter of fact the way anyone knows a right direction, is to listen and try, listen and try. There is no map of life. The complete map exists only at the end of a life, a little jog each day which can be looked at the next day, perhaps with a promise of change. On the other hand, it could be a pat on one's own back assuring oneself of a good job.
What is a good job and who is the judge? A circle of friends may throw out compliments, but many times that comes only from habit. How can I know whether these words are heartfelt or simply space fillers because of a friend's need to talk. I have noticed that silence can be scary for many people.
