Life's happening

These winter morning days evoke mindless digressions. "Are we what we do with time, or are we what time does with us ?" asks Mahmoud Darwish in a poem. :)

There is a difference between living a life consciously and letting the life happen to you. The only thing that keeps that count is time. When life's happening to you, you lose the track of time. Seconds, minutes and hours, you do not know how much time had passed. You are there and not there at the same time. Isn't it really  experiencing life !! There is a strange joy in that kind of living, without much trying. Perhaps that's the reason the artists say, "all good art is created unconsciously." May be, with good consciousness you can become an intellectual but not an artist.
