life = simple (but not easy)
4 minute read
The answer to life is simple. It just isn't always easy.
I don’t know about you but to say my life is easy would be untrue. It is certainly easier than some peoples I know, and it's also a lot harder than others. But all things being qequal my experience of life for the most part, especially at the moment - infact for the last few years, isn't easy. I'm pretty sure that is not just me either too.
life cyles
We've talked about life cycles before. Astrology helps me make sense of both personal and global challenges and opertunities. Getting a sense of how long some of these cyles might last has been great - and my tendancy has been not to look until I feel called to. I'm not one to plot the stars and plan by them.
good days bad days
The degree to which I would say that life is good would largely depend on the day you catch me. The truth is I have a car that I can get anywhere in if i chose to. I can buy a meal with fresh ingredients that have been flown in from the four corners of the world. Return to a warm and dry building where I can prepare and cook that meal, while listening to any number of eminent experts enlighten me on one intriguing field of enquiry or another - or a host of musicians from across history or the globe. Then I can turn them all off and sit and eat that meal in peace if I want. After I could go out and share a glass of champaign with friends in any number of exotic retreats or dodgy dives before returning home for a hot shower and then snuggling down to watch a film that took a hundreds of people years to make. And at no point in the day did any of the perfect strangers I share the world attempt to rob, murder, rape, or abuse me. When I reason it through my quality of life at that level I happy to say that it is verging on the miraculous.
