60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday: What Is Life Anyway?

  1. 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday: What Is Life Anyway? 2:56

Hello to you listening in Istanbul, Turkey!

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.

In the last moments of his life the Buddha was lying on his deathbed surrounded by his closest monastics awaiting  his final words. The Buddha opens his eyes and says, “Life is a river.” His words are passed from one monk to the next until they arrive at the most junior monk who asks, “Yes, but what does the Buddha mean, “life is a river”? The question makes its way back to the most senior monk who leans over the Buddha and asks, “But what do you mean, “life is a river”?  

The Buddha draws a final deep breath, shrugs his shoulders and says, “Alright already. So life is not a river.”  

What was the Buddha telling us about Life? What difference does it make? It doesn’t. What matters is you, how you are figuring out your life as you are living it.

Question: What if you will never get Life completely figured out? How might you live your precious life – today – knowing it is inherently unknowable?

Remember the first time you rode a bike and took your hands off the handlebars? And then because it felt fun and scary you did it again until you were streaking down a hill with the wind blowing in your face and your hands up over your head screaming, “Look ma! No hands!” That’s been the story of Diane's life. Showing up - maybe scared but not afraid - because when you fall down 7 you get up 8.
