"To live is the rarest thing
in the world; most people
just exist." ~Oscar Wilde
I can still hear my father
reciting this kernel of truth;
I say it to myself each and
every day . . .
I know I've written about
this gift from Oscar Wilde
many a time. I truly try to
make each moment count.
Still, I'd be the first to say
just how easy it is to be
lost in the minutia of the
day . . .
. . . the dishes, the wash,
the meals, the bills, errands!
Never ending!
Yet the wisdom of dealing
with the daily grind is well
addressed by the Buddha,
Thích Nhãt Hanh and other
greats.
Quiet meditation whilst
addressing those bits and
pieces of the daily. Thankful
hearts that we have homes
in which to labor. Recalling
from whence our blessings
came . . .
I'm trying! I'm trying!
Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie
Wills Wilde was an Irish poet
and playwright. After writing
in different forms throughout
the 1800s, he became one of
the most popular playwrights
in London in the early 1890s.
