Maybe It's What We Need To Find
We find our inspiration where we can in life, when it hits us or when we stumble across it..
Today I was hit.
A movie, no less, reminded me what I already knew, I think, but needed to remember, As we age, as we mature and learn, we find the ability to see the world around us through a different lens. To see past, see beyond, our unrealistic desires and beliefs and all of those things that we are taught to want and need as we grow and evolve.
We find, at least I hope we do, an authentic view of the world and of our place in it. Not life as it should be or as we want it to be, but life as it is.
Beyond beauty and wealth, beyond privilege and expectation, because at the end of the day, we all know that none of this matters.
It really doesn’t.
And what’s left, after we find our way trough all of the smoke and noise, is everything else.
And everything else is what matters.
People, connection and love.
Perhaps everything else is the real meaning of life.
It’s the pot of gold at the rainbow’s end.
And maybe it’s what we have to learn and what we need to find.
