Earth Wind & Fire

I had a catharsis today, in the middle of the day, in the middle of my life ...

I said to myself "what is so difficult about living a calm, serene and productive life"?

The answer came to me in a moment - it is everyone else around you that makes life such an effort. Not to say that we need to be hermits or celibate entities, but the mere fact that we must communicate  every day with so many people that don't necessarily fit into our idea of what and where we want to be, can be a most definite determent.

The answer was so very obvious that it took me aback. Could it be that all we really need to do to live life and prosper is to be ourselves? I have said this many times before in many different ways, but isn't it we who hold the secret to our own happiness, and wouldn't it be a terrible shame if we spent our time here in a state of complacency and regret?

So here it comes (you knew it would) ... Live life in the moment and don't waste your time on those that don't add luster to your existence. Time and life are very precious quantities and they are not likely to pass by again - at least not for a very, very long time!

I heard a sound the other day, it came quite clearly from away. What is the answer that you desire? Is it merely wind and fire? Or could it be earth and desire ...
