  • Knowledge of ones own mortality

    One becomes aware of ones own mortality.

    While writing this up, I did ponder on these lyrics by Sublime while looking upon this creation.

    Life is too short so love the one you got,
    Cos you might get run over or you might get shot

    Death is coming for all of us…   it maybe tomorrow or 60 years from now.
    Compared to the scale of the great workings of the universe, our time here is so very, very short.

    The sharp eyed crow sits at the end of the row of meditating figures.  He’ll claim us all in the end.
    Whilst we still draw breath, it might be prudent to pour ones energy into what the heart wants.

  • Stand still for a moment – Ta Prohm

    Stand still for a moment…  Perfectly still.   Look around you and take in the workings of the universe.

    Harun was walking through the botanic gardens some years back.  There had been a recent volcanic eruption in South America.  Up near the observatory he did see the full moon rise above the Rimutaka ranges  and it was blood red.  He then did sit upon a park bench and marvel at this most wondrous natural phenomena!

    Whilst taking it in, he did look upon the the suits busily walking past on their way home…  tuned into their iPods, horse blinkers on walking flat out in an almighty great hurry.  Only one guy actually noticed it and briefly stopped to observe the rare sight before continuing on his way.  Everyone else was oblivious.

    As we rush through the daily tasks of our busy lives, it is so easy to miss the beautiful things that make life worth living.  Stand still for a moment and see what you’re missing.
