Practicing from the Heart in the age of Technology - All articles and poems are by Reza Ghadimi, unless otherwise noted.
The ongoing calamities around the world strain rational thinking. Just as we feel that we have the grasp of one tragedy, another explodes. We are being pulled in so many directions, that we may question the very significance of life itself. But if there is anything I know of life, of all the hopes, the happy days and the sad ones, of the days of blue skies and nights of the new moon, of the sound of children at play and the pain of wounded soldiers, the homeless and hungry, is that it challenges the very soul of us, the essence of our being and the audacity of our existence.
But will life remember us? Will our names be recalled in kindness? Will our children have the freedom to run in these woods? Will their children? What did our lives mean? Was it just a passing, or will something remain of it? Though we are just a traveler through these times, we learn from all that we see, and pass it on to others passing us by. Hoping that they too add well to it as they pass it on, for this is our life until we die or live on if we are remembered well. Till then, let's not add to the crisis, let's stay peaceful, heal the needy, keep learning and teaching. Maybe then our existence will be audaciously meaningful.
