The Bouquet Of Flowers

Author: siggy

The bouquet of flowers was exquisite:  all kinds of sunflowers.  All shades of yellows and browns and small and big ones.  And I know they will not last, but today they are beautiful and I loved the sparkle in my wife’s eyes when she viewed them.  Beauty is so ephemeral–here today, gone tomorrow but today I will enjoy the flowers.  I can’t do more than that.  Life is always in a state of flux.  And we forget that.  The beautiful bouquet reminded me of that.  Life is to be enjoyed now.  Not later.  Or when you have become successful.  Years later.  Now.  Always now.

    Love it!!!! And, it’s very Buddhist to remember to stay in the “now.” We wander into the past and the future, and then we miss RIGHT NOW. Sometimes, I try to just ride the waves of now. What else really matters??

    I don’t always remember to focus on the now. I have to remind myself.
