begin (why am i waiting)
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.

What a precious photograph...and thank you for the thought provoking quote.
How very true. Thanks for sharing that.
so true!
such powerful words. so true. thanks for sharing.
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.
Amen to that.
Sounds like you are crossing a threshold. Hi Millie! :)
So true! You have a very lovely blog here! I love the inspiration and thought provoking-ness that it brings! Happy Day!
O! Just the quote I needed to start the day!
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!"
