Arcturus Descending
The sun is gently shining with a golden glow and there are a only a few large white clouds in the sky - it is mid afternoon and the temperature is perfect - high above is an Eagle circling . . . Mr List is contemplating the Koi Pond as the Nishikigoi effortlessly move through the water . . .
All the trees surrounding the garden are still - the atmosphere is serene and the air is pure and feels refreshing with each breath . . .
You are welcome to remain silent for a while and let your thoughts take in meaning from the surrounds - just to be immersed in tranquil reflection . . . Mr List gently walks off to prepare the lemonade . . . ten minutes later he returns with a tray holding three tall glasses of fresh lemonade each containing a generous amount of ice . . . he smiles and returns to watch the Nishikigoi float along in their own world . . .
Your thoughts move over a quiet, almost silent internal dialogue as you sip your lemonade:
Meaning for me was within those tears . . . one of the most meaningful, beautiful things in the world to me.
I only just watched Hacksaw Ridge the other day for the first time . . . I was pretty much engrossed the whole way through . . . Great movie. It sounds like I might have to give Dunkirk a viewing to find out what you mean . . .
I will say that interacting with other people in general brings a lot of meaning to my life . . . sometimes inspiring and sometimes just meaningful in smaller ways.
- I think too that meaning can come from a smile -
