Some of life's lessons need to be experienced. I've always been told, by my parents, by my teachers, my friends and erstwhile "significant others" that I just need to slow down. Let things come as they are. Enjoy the moment. Relax.
I never really agreed with them before. It was a sign of weakness, of compromise with life, its inherent frustrations. To me it was giving up on yourself.
This month has changed my mind. For once, I did let myself slow down, didnt let anything get to me. Spent some time doing what I enjoy. And I must admit, I've had a blast.
A few minutes ago, In my jammies, I finished smoking a Cuban, over a glass of Italian Bergamot enjoying the companionship of Maliha and her vivid stories of a year long sojourn through the Middle East. I had a blast with her. It really felt good.
Life is like a rich, delicious dessert. For enhanced pleasure, it must be had, one bite at a time, with frequent intervals. Rush it, and one risks missing out on the subtle yet pleasurable flavors.
That's my simple epiphany. 2007 will be the best year of my life.
