A Tribute to Pooh … Part 03 : The Meaning of Life & the Meaning in Living ( 01 / 18 / 2015 )
Winnie the Pooh ' s ― father ‖ -- A . A . Milne -- was born 133 years ago today , and I honor both him & his creations with this third tribute : a reminder that the Meaning of Life is already waiting to be found within all our everyday lives ; that each & every one of us can simply sit and watch a river flow by and remember everything we need to know .
Of course , the ― catch ‖ here is a large one -- namely , that the great Wisdoms we remember in this way will mean absolutely nothing to us unless we get up , grab the hand of our nearest Friend , and set forth to put them in motion .
― Sometimes , if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you , you will suddenly know everything there is to be known .‖ ~ inspired by A . A . Milne
― Before beginning a Great Quest , it is wise to ask someone what you are looking for before you begin looking for it .‖ ~ inspired by A . A . Milne
