I’m always amazed by what we can learn in every single moment. Sometimes it’s the most mundane tasks or ones that surprise us because they come when we least expect it. But it just goes to show how every day is a gift and how little we yet know of this world.
Recently, my husband and I have been blessed by a lot of inspiring stories. One of them was an inspiring story that came in the gift of Michael’s Jackson’s movie This Is It. Another came last night when we went to a free concert I won from TheNest. We sat three rows away from the one man band Five for Fighting (John Ondrasik) and feeling moved to tears by his songs, which really capture the human essence and a thread that links these two stories-the ephemerality of life and the importance of love.
One of my favorite songs is “Riddle” which tells the story of a man dealing with his father’s death. His anger over this inevitable loss spawns this heart wrenching question, “Wait, what’s the sense in life?” and his father’s answer, “I guess we’re big and I guess we’re small. If you think about it man you know we got it all. ‘Cause we’re all we got on this bouncing ball. And I love you free, I love you freely…”
Here’s a clip from last night’s inspiring concert: Be inspired!
