"Once you realize that the road is the goal and that you are always on the road, not to reach a goal, but to enjoy its beauty and its wisdom, life ceases to be a task and becomes natural and simple, in itself an ecstasy.


Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, 1897-1981

Indian Spiritual Teacher"

Just sharing another wisdom that encourages to "to stop and smell the flowers." For the past days enjoying vacation at home, it gave me the time to stop, reflect and savor life at simplicity. I should have been enrolled to continue my graduate studies this summer but circumstances failed me to do so. Instead, it gave me the opportunity to sit back and enjoy the beauty and wisdom of life. At least I was able to watch and be inspired by Michael Jackson's songs, story and memorial (hey, that was almost year ago!), to pay a visit to my uncles, aunties and cousins (they only live in the same barangay Pico), to have coffee with friends and continue my piano lessons (yes, still at this age).

Simple things in life they are but it helped me to be refreshed, renewed and be ready for the next school year.

There are still some "to do" list waiting to be accomplished, movies long stored in the laptop to be watched after it was downloaded almost a year ago, a wedding to attend and books to read. But there is no need to rush, just tackle them one at a time.
