What would cause them to sing?

What would cause the lives of our heirs to sing?

Let us think about our heirs, our children, our grandchildren: What kind of a sense of humor does she have? What are his interests? With what does her imagination soar? What’s his greatest heartbreak? If she had a year off, what would she do? What’s his dream? What does she like to do? How does he rejuvenate?

From this attending to people we can learn what we can do, and what gifts we have—probably beyond money—which can encourage, inspire, boost them. What is the absolute best we can do by our grandchildren? What responsibility do we have to them? How can we respond today?

Ephemeral may be the permanence

Ephemeral—here for but a day—may in fact be the permanence: we see something of meaning, we glimpse hope or sorrow or values within the fibres of life and world, fleeting around the corner, leaving only a shadow to hint to us, and it is in this shadow that we see the really real, the permanence underlying our existence, the existence of the all there is. What is most fleeting may in fact be what is most enduring. Momentarily happy, momentarily loving—what can we do this moment? What we can do this moment is manifest the timeless?
