A Tribute to Pooh – Part 01 … The Meaning in Living (01/18/15)

A Tribute to Pooh — Part 03 … The Meaning of Life; & the Meaning in Living

Winnie the Pooh’s “father” — A. A. Milne — was born 133 years ago today, and I honor both him & his creations with this third tribute: a reminder that the Meaning of Life is already waiting to be found within all our everyday lives; that each & every one of us can simply sit and watch a river flow by and remember everything we need to know.

Of course, the “catch” here is a large one — namely, that the great Wisdoms we remember in this way will mean absolutely nothing to us unless we get up, grab the hand of our nearest Friend, and set forth to put them in motion.

“Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.” ~ inspired by A. A. Milne

“Before beginning a Great Quest, it is wise to ask someone what you are looking for before you begin looking for it.” ~ inspired by A. A. Milne
