Time vs. Life

(January 5, 1999, 1:32 p.m.)

As time goes by we learn it isn't the speed with which we do our work, but the quality of time that makes life an accomplishment.

How much do we enjoy working, or playing, or just resting? Schedules and deadlines take up most of what we do. We seldom have time to enjoy something for the sake of doing it.

If we feel pressured, we have little incentive to enjoy doing anything, much less doing it well. Many who have to sit all day are bored and have nothing to think about except how unhappy they are or how they feel physically.

More time is not the answer.

We need a better quality of life, deeper rest, and it begins with quality attitudes. What we have or what we do not have should never dictate the quality of our lives, or our capacity to simply enjoy.

Some pass without recognition, the grandest of all . . .

Peace, Tawanka
