Time To Experience

On the road again, this time back to India. Traveling over the last two days, there has not been much time available to write but quite a bit of time to read and reflect. I have learned over the years that there is a time and place within our lives that we must allow ourselves to experience. It is an experience or event that some times just happens. Other times it is an event that we must arrange ourselves.

The event I speak of is simply enjoying the earth and all that comes with it. To feel the dirt under the soles of our bare feet. To experience the wind blowing through our hair. To relish the warmth of sunlight upon our face.

Kahlil Gibran wrote in his book, "The Prophet", "...and forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair."

Inspire yourself on a daily basis. Strive to be a very wonderous person. But also allow yourself to taste the greatness of life this world has to offer you. A finite number of years exist and we must experience that which has been blessed upon us.
