DEEP THOUGHTS

Not really, but maybe for me.  As I was stuck in a traffic jam the other morning, I couldn't help but compare my life to the traffic patterns.  Silly, I know..but I wasn't in the mood for talk radio.  We are always trying to get from Point A to Point B, whether we are conscious of if it or not.  Sometimes, we just cruise right on to Point B without a single bump in the road and other times, we are stuck in a stand-still, no movement in sight, running out of gas, traffic jam that stops us in our tracks.  Of course, there is also everything in between; slow drivers, rain, construction, etc.  Daily life issues that we have become comfortable with handling.  Even though you never want to go through the mac-daddy of traffic jams, I truly believe those are the times where you build character.  Sometimes, it can be disheartening when you handle your circumstances in the wrong way (cursing, honking, hand-gestures)..am I really that mean of a person?  And other times, you realize that you're letting people in your lane, feeling bad for everyone, and really putting things into perspective..it's just traffic.  Kind of funny how it all relates, huh?

I wouldn't say I'm going through a traffic jam in this phase, but I feel like I've been slowly getting through a construction zone for a while now.  Life is staying the same when I feel like it should be progressing faster and I should be closer to my "Point B" than I am.  I also feel like I handle it well (some days better than others), but I'm learning and growing from it and I think that is what matters.

  1. Very well said! I think a lot of people of all ages feel this way, which is why we are seeing such an interest in yoga and meditation. Our generation, more than the Boomers, is really starting to ask itself what is so great about Point B in the first place. Is it really what we want? Is it everything we imagine it to be? Does it really exist? Sure, we can at some cost attain the body, the cash, the job, the car, but will we truly be happy?

    Yoga teaches us that the present moment is all that truly exists: the past is gone, and the future is just an imagined outcome. If we can take a deep breath and admire something pleasant around us: the beautiful sunset above the highway, the pleasant music on the car radio, a hunky construction worker, getting derailed by life's "under construction" detours can be a lot more fun.

    Wonderful post!
