begin (why am i waiting)

august 26

For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.

- Father Alfred D'Souza

I recall that time, back in my teens, thinking my life was nothing but just preparation for my real life to start. This quote sums it up. Very well.

What a gorgeous photo. One of my favourite things to do is cuddling my cats in exactly the same way. Definitely part of my sacred life!

I understand the unfinished business before life begins. I have my own obstacle that I think I have to achieve before life begins.

I have to keep telling myself "Life is NOW!"
