A Meaning of Life

Actively trying to keeping up with everything so now seemingly i cannot keep up wit anything.
like many
i am at times very spontaneous - overly dramatic - fantastically passionate.
OVER THE TOP  (OTT)
not to be confused with some disorder...  (or label, or tag)
and whilst considering the many meaning myriads of life itself,
lets not cast stones into other peoples families backyards without all the information, or at the very least the children's frame of reference and minds (and dont forget, they change a lot :))

yep, many meanings come with considering 'meaning' and in this moment "the meaning of Life"

Life is the everything we encounter, life is., taha wairua, taha tinana, taha hinengaro and taha whanau...
Mind, body, soul, family ....
as well as
Land is Life.  Land is Papatuanuku here in Aotearoa New Zealand. and Meaning?  well first and foremost (perhaps)
1. People Belong to the Land,
Tauiwi know this, Pakeha especially know this - notions of land being able to be bought is VERY new age that a fact...  and learned and all those in power know this;

There are many strands weaving the fabric of our lives, shaping our identities and our roles and responsibilities as family member's, as sibling's, as partner's, as a capable human being
and if
2. Life is what we make it as well as what other people make it;
then, surely if the Meaning of Life is just this

but as i look out, i muse,
we are a very long way away from being civilised or at the very least:- "respectable, respectfull".  Why?  How Come?

i
look out and meet such scarcity and families struggling to pay their shelter needs and power bills,
and i shiver thinking of the crawling cruel hands of winters heart,
shaking us at our core
and the children without enough dry clean clothes to wear

and i shiver in empathy...

and i wince and pray that rich people adopt whole families
and help afford dry and safe shelters,
sturdy comfortable furniture, efficient whiteware;
and at the very least 'FREE WATER',  hot water, safe heating, mould free bedrooms ...
...

so also then, when pontificating the meaning of life :-

3.  Know, be informed about what it takes to raise healthy carefree children; and be active in personally keeping fit and heathy alongside family, friends, groups etc.
Life is Busy.
Life is Work
Life is Love.
Life is Play.
Life is Laughter.
Life is Grief.
Life is A Struggle.

Sustaining and maintaining relationships costs quite a bit.

4.  Healthy mind, body, soul and family takes effort and active mindfulness

and this realisation that Freedom and Justice comes at a price
and that freedom is about taking responsibility
then Life is ACTIVE.
like, Stand up and live, Sit down and die...

another meaning of life
Take Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy for example -
and i remember to bullet point

5.  Keep it simple
but ask yourself regularly  "when is silence golden?"

Life is what it is but LIFE IS NOT an island.

Life is bigger that an individual.
Life is as expansive as it is
connected
linked
affected directly and indirectly
to everything else
and
therefore precarious,

6.  Life is Short.
Too Short.
The older i get the shorter life becomes...
So much to do.
So many photo's to take.

Life is Busy Fantastic.
Life is about making mistakes.
Thinking Skillfully
Behaving Responsibly
Feeling Appreciated makes life confident.

and lucky 7. (easy to remember :))

Life is striving to be Politically Correct so not to encroach onto others

...  Life is having an opinion.  Feel free to post one xxx
please make your opinions known :-)
