Running and playing. Climbing trees🌲 and skipping rocks. Setting out in a direction with no idea where it leads; No point or objective in sight. As kids👶🏻 that’s what we do naturally. We just do things for the fun of it; we do things for no reason🏴☠️. A new friend reminded me of all this (and more) yesterday. We set out on an adventure🗺 that had no point and no reason. It was fun and spontaneous. We talked with curious people and had interesting experiences. We watched a guy skateboarding🛹 down a building. Half way skating down, a green wheel popped off his board. We watched as ✨sparks literally flew off his board as he struggled not to crash–he crashed anyway. We cheered😄 enthusiastically all the same. He was doing his thing; he was living. I marvel at people who just live so footloose and fancy free. They don’t seem to plan much (if at all). They don’t have digital 📲😅 schedulers that remind them of a dozen things needing to be done before lunch…And they look very happy! Very very happy😏! This isn’t me saying I’m going to hang up my plans and live rudderless. *Gasp* 😱 God forbid I go 5 minutes without my digital scheduler. Though as I lived through yesterday I realized there was a lot I could learn🧐 from my friend and the guy who crashed is board. They really enjoy their time, in love with each moment. No rules, no expectations, (and often) no shoes👟. As Eckhart Tolle would say, “Be Here Now.”
