WHY?

Some of us may do a thing and not really know why we do it, except that it seems like the right thing to do. In our short perspectives, it's what seems to be right, and we don't question further. But in not questioning, we limit ourselves to what we already know, or at least to what we think we know.

Then there are those of us who question everything and spread ourselves so thinly, to cover everything all at once, that we wind up doing even less than everyone else. We even think we're better off because we know more. At least we seem to think so.

We have knowledge so that we can know one thing from another. We have wisdom so we know what do to, or not to do, with the things we know about. As we go though life, hopefully gaining EXPERIENCE on our journey, we see that it is not enough just to know. To do is how we learn and how we grow. To have knowledge is good, to have wisdom is good. To have both is great. To utilize both is divine.

We want to grow; we have a need to grow. Like the way a plant reaches its roots for the water source or turns its leaves toward the sun, in its simple way it yearns. It yearns for life, as do we. We want to live; we just don't seem to know how. We don't know how only for the simple reason that we haven't learned how, yet. We haven't learned how because we've stopped learning. We've stopped learning because we've stopped doing, and we've stopped doing because we've stopped asking why.

What we have is what we know. What we know is what we can share. What we share is how we learn. What we learn is how we can grow.

GO EXPERIENCE LIFE.
