O’ Modern Man, Modern Man, how you stand up tall with your undeserved pride. You hold infinite knowledge in the palm of your hand, Control nature, much more than it can withstand. Is there anything you can not know? No place where you can not go? Why are you so serious modern man? Don’t you see life is a great mystery. Is there still wonder in your eyes? Is there any passion still in your soul? Look towards nature, and you will find reprieve. Bathe in the forest, admire the beauty of the trees. Stand in the stillness under the stary sky, Look inward for solitude, for purpose and your why. Life is just a game we all must play. Just let go for a while, and you will see, How effortless it is to be free. Life is a great mystery, a great mystery.

Such a lovely Sunday morning meditation, Andrew. Thank you. Especially this:
“Stand in the stillness under the stary sky, Look inward for solitude, for purpose and your why.”
Your choice of media resonates, too. Six screens, of some sort, in the image…helping to convey that YES, while we do have information in the palm of our hands or at our fingertips…we’re forever incomplete without peeking inside ourselves. Grateful for the reminder! 😊
Thank you 🙂 what does it mean to fall in love with the world, instead of human made abstractions?
❤❤❤
Such powerful and meaningful words. This part jumped out at me, “Life is just a game we all must play.” We do indeed get so caught up in “the game” that we lose the wonder and miss out on the stillness both around and inside of us. Beautiful post, Andrew. Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you for your thoughtful reply, I am glad it resonated with you 🙂
