John Lennon’s song “A day in the Life” was one of the most influential songs of the Beatles. Yes, I know that McCartney also did a part of the song, “Woke up, fell out of bed”, okay, okay.
Do we ever look to our life cycle in a day’s time?
We wake up, it is like being born again, coming out of a strange state of mind that is called Sleep. Or is it something else?
Then we start to organize our life, preparing for what some call struggle of survival. It is like our childhood and going into adolescence. After that, we close the door behind us and step into the street. Leaving the relatively safe place of our birth family, exposed to the ‘real’ world.
We work, study, communicate, we are busy until 18:00 and it is like we are building our life’s career and at a certain moment we come to the age of our pension. Some of us are looking forward to the evening of our life, doing the things we always wanted to do. Others are scared because they know that the night will be followed by the Big Sleep that we may compare with physical death. For those that have no dreams it means darkness, for the dreamers it will be a shift of perspective.
Looking back at our life, most of us we like to make changes, “If I could do it over again….”
Isn't it wonderful that our every day lifespan gives as the opportunity to make changes every 24 hours, we can do things all over again. We wake up young and refreshed, and we can do things differently this day… and we can die content at night.
Isn’t Life perfect, giving us these great opportunities in such a normal way that lots of us do not see them, it is too normal.
Lets help each other to wake up and open our eyes instead of falling out of bed. Like Lennon and McCartney composed together and at that time they didn’t like each other anymore but they were still working together, creating something beautiful.
We can work it out.
