When you feel, you are the most human

February 17, 2023 6:33pm CST
I've always thought like I'm moving through life too fast. There's never any time for me to soak in things, to remember moments, to feel. And I fear this is dehumanizing. For what are we if we don't live in the now? Who are we if we're purely stuck in the past or paralyzed by the future? I just want to take my time and say, "Yes, this is it. This is what living is supposed to be like. I know exactly where I am and what I'm feeling. I am here." A work in progress.

Very hard to be 'grounded' these days, I agree.

Good to be busy and to have the knack to relish what one is doing

I have felt like that when I was working long hours and needed more time to spend with my family.

I had a busy life, but I always find a way to "enjoy the moment". The past is past and it will never come back, the future is uncertain, learn to enjoy the present.

Everything happens in its own time, at the right time in our lives. Time has its own life, of which we just live within. We are a part of time, live in time, and are governed by time. This is the case until we love. When we love, we are the most human, for feelings come and go, but love, real love, is there to stay. We are made of love, from love, by God, so as long as we love, all is well in our loving, and the timing of our lives will take its proper spot then, behind our loving, never in front of it. When time is placed in front of love, we feel controlled by time, and that it drags us along. Love never drags us, but energises us for the journey of life itself.

I agree that we live too fast and do not notice the beautiful moments and people around us. Every day I try to stop for a moment and look. I think that my children help me in this, because I want to teach them this sensitivity.
