“What is the meaning of life?” But isn’t, “What makes you feel alive?”, the better question?
Like most folks, people now and then tell me they do not feel alive. When they tell me such things, I almost always hear, after discussing it with them, “I am not being true enough to who I am.”
An easy thing to fall into these days, I think.
Inspired by a post on Miriam’s blog.
Music, poetry, sunshine, my son….

” let me remind you of the pilgrim who asked for an audience with the Dalai Lama.
He was told he must first spend five years in contemplation. After the five years, he was ushered into the Dalai Lama’s presence, who said, ‘Well, my son, what do you wish to know?’ So the pilgrim said, ‘I wish to know the meaning of life, father.’
And the Dalai Lama smiled and said, ‘Well my son, life is like a beanstalk, isn’t it?'”
