At a
certain moment the talk was about the bucket list we still have in life and our wishes
and desires.
If you
are not familiar with it, a bucket list is a list of activities someone wants
to do before he or she dies. It is a list of things a person wants to do before
they "kick the bucket". A wish list.
To many
persons surprise I told the group my bucket list is empty. No goals, no big
dreams, no wishes any longer. Not at all saying I have had enough of living
life. I am still enjoying and am happy if I can go on with it.
Not having this list of things I want to do before I die gives me a lot
of peace and rest. I am living and enjoying by the day. Small things. Just
normal and spontaneous meeting people, walking around in nature and being aware of the
magnificent energy, practicing the art of watching with my photo camera, being happy with the daily contact with my children, enjoying
being together with my girlfriend if she is here, enjoying the company and
playfulness of my dog, drinking a beer or wine, this kind of things.
Walking
around in the forest I made a picture of this spider. Wandering this animal is
also just willing to wait for the things that come. If he likes it he comes
into action, if not, he leaves it alone. And he (or she) is sure every day will
bring something. It is just the awareness of a change of tension in the web.
Actually like fishing or hunting. Aware, at ease, and present.
Enjoying
the day and being thankful and grateful every day again to get this new
opportunity.
No
striving, no running, I got already more than enough magnificent things in my
life. And yes, I am willing and open to receive more but if not… it is all OK.
