It’s always welcome on my end to be reminded of ‘Memento Mori’, I remember this powerful message written in 4T…or perhaps in one of your responses here on Substack🤔. Seems to go well with your response to this question also. I’m so at ease with your message/philosophy on what this life is. Thanks Robert.
I went for a 3 day long bike ride (still on my way)... and so many emotions, feelings and thoughts went by. Its very hot here today in the Netherlands and i had tough moments, happy moments, relaxing moments in nature. Everything, feelings and scenery, kept on changing.
And i thought: this might be the gift.... the gift of feeling and seeing all this aliveness.... before i did not. It is definitely not always easy, but it is richer in a way. Even though, it was a tough process, i still don't want it any other way. Especially because of the love that i feel in my heart.
Was beautiful to read this after today. Now getting on with the last 10km of today :)
This was very helpful. Thank you Robert. I had a friend who once said: "When everything's going great, look out! The shit's about to hit the fan!" In my experience, he was correct. Now though, it's a bit less stressful knowing that it's coming. Not in some fearful way, but enjoying the good times more without the dread of what is to come...
Years ago I was walking in a garden in May flowers were blooming it was beautiful. I was truly content and at ease. The moment I became aware of how wonderful that moment was I was stung by a bee! I’ve never forgotten that moment. Many many similar moments have happened in my long life so whenever I’m feeling really good I’m immediately looking for the bee sting!
Well said! ❤️
Thank you, my dear friend. <3

As always, hitting the nail on the head!
Beautiful, Robert!
