Listen, Contemplate, Meditate<\/strong>

As we grow older and the body begins to register the signs of aging, reminders of life\u2019s transiency are more and more frequent.

Past the midpoint of our lives, when the pursuits and ambitions of our youth begin to lose some of their glamour, the speed at which life goes by is seen more clearly.

Just yesterday, it seems, we were in high school; today we are watching our son graduate from college. We remember being a newlywed as if it were last weekend, and today we are putting putting the third candle on our granddaughter\u2019s cake.

Like the lilac, like the death of a loved one or a friend, all these are reminders that it is time to wake up from the dream that money or pleasure or prestige can make us happy, time to wake up and discover why it is that we are here.
