Day 146a: To ever walk the Better Road … (September 22, 2019)

Contentment for any sentient being is a constant flow between playful construction and painful deconstruction, undulating from every hampering past into each new liberating ‘now.’ The permanent potential to be at Peace ever escorts life’s meandering flood of twists and turns, sometimes caressing the velvet sand of gentle beaches and sometimes smashing into the harsher rocks of reality … Walking, while attentively interacting with one’s surroundings, is how the body measures itself against the Earth. Caring, while attentively interacting with the others one meets along the way, is how the Soul measures itself against one’s Life … And so it is that Life becomes contented when it becomes a road that the Good Man calls Kindness.” ~ inspired by Erik Pevernagie, Rebecca Solnit & Wald Wassermann
