Are You There Yet?

As a child you rode in the back seat of the car and asked, “Are we there yet?”  And in focusing on the destination, you missed the scenery along the way.  Are you there yet?  Where are you trying to go?  What if your vehicle should stall here and now?  Could you be content, or is what lies ahead so appealing to you that you can focus on nothing else?

What if we were to tell you that life is all about the ride?  There is nowhere to go, simply one scene after another unfolding right before your eyes.  Are you missing them by continuously asking, “Are we there yet?”  Pull over at the rest stop if you’d like, for the journey is eternal.  Rest a while, and while you do, have a look around and see what you have been missing. 

The place you have been so anxious to arrive at has been in the seat with you all along.  That urge to go, go, go is actually an urge to be, be, be.  Be what?  Be awake.  To remember.  Remember what?  That love is all there is, and you are that.  To feel love, give love.  Aha.  The car has arrived.  Welcome Home.
