"What was the last thing to go through the bugs mind as it hit the windshield? His ass."
Just like that spider and the bug on the windshield it can be said, "They never saw it coming." I've heard many humans utter those words...usually about someone else, and rarely about their own life. Humans rarely take the time to reflect and look around to see what may be lurking in the shadows. I'd venture to say that even fewer take the time to become aware of the darkness and/or light that plays tag with each of us within. Did I say aware??? For hell's sake, even admit to any of it. Awareness is our foundation of existence. It is the observer within us, the essence of life. Without awareness there is no consciousness, no mind, and no life. It is the core of our being. It is what gives us the ability to see "it" coming...that separates us from the likes of that spider.
It is time for me to take that inner trip once again. Over then next week or two I am going to spend some time enjoying the three books that have added the most to my life:
- The Little Prince, by Antoine de St. Xupery - it's influence on friends, family, & relationships
- Walden, by Henry D. Thoreau - it's influence on finances, simplicity, and being still
- Siddartha, by Herman Hesse - my life influence on finding peace, the atman within, and respecting the journey of others
