Wasting Time ?

(Courtesy of google) Ticking away........

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day You fritter and waste the hours in an off hand way Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today And then one day you find ten years have got behind you No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but its sinking And racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines Hanging on in quiet desperation is the english way The time is gone, the song is over, thought Id something more to say

Intriguing words from Pink Floyd's song Time. I think many can relate to it. We just seem getting on with daily life, when I was young we just "hang out" now it is earning a living and stuck up with lot of not very important things.

But are they not important? Some years ago I struggled with the question which way do I go and I read in the paper that there was a workshop by a famous psychic on the Mind Body and Spirit Festival about finding your purpose. Just what I need I thought, although I am not a psychic kind of person. My main interests at that time (still is) were children and writing. I had a huge (beginners) luck of getting 3 articles published in parenting magazines.

I became a bit disinterested when being told that your purpose was basically what you really wanted to do now. Duh, I was already doing that but I didn't know what to choose because I wanted to do one or the other on a higher level to be able to have a real impact. After an exercise in which you were teamed up with your neighbour and really didn't get further than I already was, I listened to the psysic going through the process on stage with a lady who was totally stuck and had no idea where she wanted to go. I suddenly became alert when I heard the outcome. She said your goal in live is giving love and it doesn't matter how you do it, by writing magazine articles or by looking after children. Next I heard the lady on stage saying I don't do any of the two you suggested. "I know" ,whispered the psychic. The lady I was teamed up with nearly pushed me of my feet and said excitingly "that's about you". Was she right? There were maybe only 30 people in the audience. How many of them wrote magazine articles and looked after children. Coincidence? Maybe - Maybe not, but it made me look at what I do in a different way. No I am not wasting my time I am on the right track. Ahora Marja

Just saw that the naked soul wrote today something simular about your purpose in life and that it doesn't have to be something complicated. It is at a time that I needed to be reminded again.

Coincidence? Maybe - Probably not!!!
