I cannot fit more life into the day than the day will naturally hold. Experience unfolds a moment at a time and just for today, I want to allow that to happen and enjoy the ride. When I measure my life by how much I can acquire I miss the experience of being alive. When my mind is always on where I can get and what I can become, I walk right by the moment as if it were nothing to savor or cherish or even notice. When I can allow myself to sink into the here and now, everything I need for this moment is there, the moment expands, fills up of its own accord. I am learning that being in my life is better than having a life that being in my day is better than thinking about being in my day and that experiencing the quiet radiance of God at work in all things gives each moment, each day and each circumstance its own quiet meaning and purpose. The purpose is to see, to sense, to be in this experience called life rather than avoid it, medicate it, over think it or over live it.

I don’t believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.

Joseph Campbell
