Today’s Just be thought
I was taking a break and as I looked outside the window I noticed three butterflies chasing each other.
Right now there are a lot of them in the area and I see them all over. These three seemed so playful that I wished for a second I’d have captured them on camera to share.
But then I remembered that some things are meant to be enjoyed fully without also trying to capture the moment for later review.
Here’s the quote – she captures the idea better than I
“Life is made up of a collection of moments that are not ours to keep. The pain we encounter throughout our days spent on this earth comes from the illusion that some moments can be held onto. Clinging to people and experiences that were never ours in the first place is what causes us to miss out on the beauty of the miracle that is the now. All of this is yours, yet none of it is. How could it be? Look around you. Everything is fleeting.
To love and let go, love and let go, love and let go…it’s the single most important thing we can learn in this lifetime.”
