Excuse Me!

I have been putting off cleaning up the garden and putting things away like the vertical planters. The last three days of rainy and cold weather gave me an excuse to let it go. But there were no excuses today since the weather were mild and sunny.

Usually what I put off doing is something that is unpleasant like cleaning my office. There are always excuses for not doing something; there is always something else to do. But eventually excuses run out or seem meaningless.

However, when we put the excuses aside and do something we know we should do there is a feeling of satisfaction.

The same goes for making mistakes. In making mistakes I often fail to learn from them and make them over and over again until I slowly learn, usually the hard way.

In nature there are no excuses and no mistakes, except human made. As one of the picture quotes from Joseph Campbell says: “The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the university, to match your nature with Nature.” (See Below) If we could do that there would be no need for excuses and no mistakes. However, till the end of world when human life and Nature become one we will make mistakes and excuses. No excuses and no mistakes is a good goal but in the meanwhile we can be like nature by living fully in the moment.
