Life Made a Contract with Itself
Life on Earth seems like a mystery to you, yet life unfolds itself the way a rose blooms. Life doesn’t have to know how or when or why or where or anything at all.
Life holds trust. Life knows it is a passing moment and doesn’t hold on tight to itself.
Let life be a flower in the palm of your hand, beloveds. Look at it. Turn it over. Today there is one flower in your hand, and tomorrow another. Life itself marches on and doesn’t look back. Life doesn’t pass on judgments. Life knows it is more than what it appears on any one day.
Life never feels like it is lifting heavy snow with a shovel. Life doesn’t feel chilled by the snow nor does it feel seared by the sun. Nor does life feel like a will o’ the wisp. Life is not an idler. Life knows what it is doing even when it doesn’t know ahead of time. Life kind of walks along its path with its hands in its pockets, whistling a merry tune.
Life is undaunted. It is self-propelling, and so it is steady. It just keeps going on. Life feels no need to prepare itself for what may come. It takes everything in its stride. Life has a great stride. It steps over everything and leaves what it stepped over behind. Life is not caught up in the past nor is it caught up in the future. What is life caught up in? Nothing at all. It is just being life.
It is as if life made a contract with itself just to keep moseying along. Neither rain nor snow halts life nor even gives it pause.
Life is good-natured and noble. It keeps its opinions to itself. It stays out of the fray. Life neither prevents nor delays. Life knows not of dismay. What does life want but to be what it is. Life doesn’t care what outfit it wears today or what it wore yesterday or will tomorrow. Relative life, as you experience life, stays out of the fuss. It is moving forward so dedicatedly that it doesn’t look to see what it has left in its wake. Life is no fool.
Life keeps going with aplomb.
Life does not require praise nor does it mind when it is discounted or slandered. What does life care? It is carefree. Life knows it is new tomorrow. Life is forever new.
We can say that life minds its own business. It glances at what is going on and acknowledges that that is how life is. It doesn’t stop being life. It doesn’t stop going on. Life knows that it is new in every moment. Life itself does not get caught up in any drama. Life does not spend time in the individual movies that many ongoers get involved in. In a sense, life has its nose to the grindstone and does not fiddle around with itself. It knows what it’s doing. Sun or shadow, life keeps its feet to the ground and its eyes to the sun.
Life does not get befuddled. It does not feel that it must investigate itself. Life doesn’t moan or bemoan. Life is impartial, and that accounts for its wonderful attitude.
Life has its mission, and it steps up to the plate. It never gets tired. It just keeps going rain or shine. Even as life moves, it is relaxed. It has no tension because it has surrendered to itself. It makes no demands. It just keeps striding. And, as it strides, it applauds itself for providing such a fine platform for you.
