I just saw a preview for the movie version of "Where the wild things are" and just got overwhelmed with this knowledge that I have to see that film. Its the same way I felt about Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium... as I sit here thinking about that movie I want to go to Wal-Mart and buy it and watch it. I need a good dose of wonder, a good reminder of how very big life is, how very big the adventure of getting up each day and living should be.
I feel that lately I've allowed the shine to wear off of life.
"Love the moment and the energy of that moment will spread beyond all boundaries." Corita Kent
This has long been one of my favorite quotes... Corita Kent, her art, her life, her legacy are all things that motivate and astound me. If you don't know who she is, google search her. haha. She's fantastic. But that's not the point of this post.
Getting back to the point...
This thought- these ideas of the wonder of life... I genuinely believe that is how God calls us to live- in awe and wonder of His great creation, His great love for us, His power. So why don't I? Why, when I've got all the time in the world, do I sit in my apartment, playing on facebook or watching silly TV that I don't even kind of care about? Why don't I spend more time out on adventures? Why don't I say hello and talk to anyone and everyone I can? Learn their stories, show them love, embrace life.
This is a lot of rambling, but hey, that's what I do best. Think, ramble, hope. I'm realizing though that this is the change I need in me... well, not this as in the rambling, instead this idea of loving each moment and allowing the energy of that to catapult me, to spread beyond that moment- that's how I must live. That's how we should all live I suppose...
