To LIVE means to TRAVEL on the waves of EXISTENCE. I EMBRACE the unknown, I DIVE into the thirst for CURIOSITY, I DESIRE DISCOVERY, the NEW, the MYSTERY that seeks to REVEAL itself to you at every DEAD END. Because usually, LIFE reveals itself to you where you think you have experienced everything and there is nothing else, no more SURPRISE or MIRACLE. Yet, the MIRACLE always comes where you least expect it.
Is it bad to have a HARBOR? Of course not. On the contrary. The HARBOR is ESSENTIAL, but for those who TRAVEL. There you will dock to find PEACE, to REST, to gather strength to plan your NEW JOURNEY. But it is DANGEROUS and DESTRUCTIVE, instead of resting from your journeys, to IMPRISON your DREAMS. Instead of PLANNING, to DESTROY your LIFE, your GIFT and TALENT.
Because no TALENT can EMERGE without JOURNEYS and ADVENTURE in life. How can you learn to SWIM from the SHORE? How can you learn to fly without DREAMING of the SKY? You will never DISCOVER what you ARE and how far you can GO, unless you DARE to LIVE.
Saint Paisios used to say: “When someone gives you a candy, be patient and don’t rush greedily to swallow it. Let it melt in your mouth, that way you will enjoy it...” Life is a gift, let’s not rush to pass it by, but live it. We are often so busy observing what others have that we forget the blessings we ourselves have in our lives. And I am not referring only to material goods. I am writing mainly about the essential elements of a human life that flows beautifully. Elements that we very easily overlook in this complex and increasingly complicated world we live in.
Things that may seem insignificant today, but at the moment of our last breath are recognized as the most important.
Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
