It’s very easy to get caught up in the day to day maintenance of life. A few months ago, a Tibetan monk came to Kona and spoke at a Peace Center near us. One observation he made about the difference btwn Westerners and Tibetans was that he noticed what the older people were doing, or not doing. He said that in Tibet, as people got older, they devoted more of their lives to spiritual pursuits and the development of their spiritual side. While in America, he noticed that the older people just kept focused on the physical world and little time is devoted to a spiritual practice. I remembered that and it was refreshing to get that perspective from someone outside our culture.

As the existentialist would say,

life has whatever meaning you put into it. I am having a life of relaxation this time around. Taking it easy with some minor stuff to try out, perhaps something big like creating a healing center here in Hawaii. Or perhaps work over the internet to see what I can do to help heal some of the energetic imbalances in the world.
Yeah, the meaning of life

can be so subjective. What I have come up with is to be kind to my fellow human beings and try to live and be an example of the changes I wish to see happen in the world. What do others think, feel or wish about this topic?
