Today it’s my birthday and it started as a gray and rainy day. And also a bit of a rainy and melancholy sensation inside. Time goes on and here we are, doing the best we can.
It’s interesting to see how the sensation of moving in a direction can, at times, alleviate the lack of meaning in our lives. It’s only when something invites us to stop and reflect that we can see it. No wonder that most of us try to avoid it at all costs!
I am reminded of Viktor Frankl and his book “Man in search of meaning”, and of the tenets of logotherapy. As I understand them they say that it’s important to give meaning to what we do. I think that this means that things do not have meaning: we have to give it to them. And activity can involve us in a sort of hypnotic trance that allows us to just go on.
Phone calls, and congratulations…The sun is coming out now, but inside it is still cloudy. Maybe my spirit is looking for some down-time…
