This past week I was reminded in a very simple way the
importance of living in and for the moment.
This reminder came from a simple email of an incident that
occurred while a fellow worker was driving out to a work project. During this
drive a spruce grouse was accidently struck and killed by the vehicle. Flying
around enjoying its natural habitat one moment and killed instantly by a high
speed vehicle the next!
This sort of misfortune is not uncommon to wild birds or animals,
nor is it to us humans. It is important to keep in front of myself the
importance of taking advantage of the moments I have and to remember that there
may not be the opportunity to correct what I have done wrong. Most important
for me is to ensure that I don’t take for granted the fortune I do have, in my
family and the opportunities which present themselves.
