Imagine a child sitting in the
midst of a huge pile of toys and saying to his mother, "Mom, there's
nothing to do."
In a similar way a kind of
boredom strikes us when we become saturated with the stimulating realities
surrounding our lives.
The richness of life becomes so
ordinary to our consciousness that we cease being aware of it. The
resulting boredom makes us tired of our commitments, perhaps even tired of life
itself.
Your can make the ordinary
realities in life become extraordinary only when you learn to see them anew.
That will never happen unless you open your eyes and pay attention to the people
and to the surrounding that are a part of your life.
When you do that with some
diligence, you begin to see in a fresh way.
Perhaps no one can fully explain
how this process works, but then that is not really necessary. The only
thing necessary is to look with the careful attention that eventually enables
all of us to break though the ordinariness of our lives. |
