“Another way we can lay hold of some solitude is a quiet walk with a friend. Just walk slow and don’t speak.

Sometimes holding hands will enhance it and sometimes it will distract you. Try it both ways.

The more we are tuned into [others],… the less need we have for language.

We feel close … with some part of us knowing we are sharing a special experience together.” ~ Dalton Roberts

That’s a very nice tip indeed — just slow down for a few minutes each day and be with someone; really BE with them.

No need to chat about anything going on in your life or share anything about how you are feeling …

Just walk together, side by side in silence — grateful for each other; grateful for life.

Of course, there is another way to get some Big Meaning our of living — a choice made brilliantly by our Friend Mr. Seal in the attached image:

… go somewhere where folks are being “serious”, and flagrantly be the opposite.

Jump up & down, sing, laugh heartily, make eye contact & smile,

greet others warmly, dance in the rain,

raise your hands reverently to the Heavens or place them Joy-fully over your Heart.
Sometimes the greatest service is waking folks up to the fact that Life is allWays somehow very Beauty-full …

… and sometimes the best way to do so requires not a word.

LOVE is often Purpose-fully goofy …

… got LOVE?

“There perhaps is no more important service than openly exuding Joy …

When you choose to overcome anxiety, or sadness, or grief, or anger —

alcohol dependency, losing a loved one, a physical illness,

the fear of death, the agony of divorce, or any other personal discomfort —

everyone around you becomes inspired.” ~ called forth by Barry Neil Kaufman
