The most amazing thing about my life …. is that after going to sleep at night …. each morning …. I wake up again!
When I really think about this …. no …. really think about this …. how extraordinary that life continues throughout my dullness during sleep, during my unconsciousness …. and somehow I stay alive, somehow my body keeps functioning, somehow my karma doesn’t give up supporting this life …… somehow ….. how? ….. somehow I hang on to this thread of life, this precious opportunity ….
which I then fritter away with petty distractions!
What an act of faith it would be to go to sleep, and to have faith that I will wake up tomorrow!
But it isn’t an act of faith …. it’s an act of ignorance … ignorance of Impermanance and Death …. of blocking out how fragile life is, and how precious life is ….
Amazing to wake up each morning ……
Now, if I could only ‘wake up’ today !
