Ruminations of the day .

  
Why do I call this ruminations? Because these are the mulling of my thoughts upon certain topics that are important to myself and ideas that I like to share, also a certain clarification of concepts for myself.
             The other day, a word came to me that seemed to describe certain feelings that I felt about, let's say- being in the world. , The word was "cultural"- of course, the word has many meanings, from agriculture to general learning and of course culture. Yet the word includes more or less, everything we do in life, From our lifestyle our forms of entertainment hobbies we take it for granted that this is our life and of course it is! And a very enriching aspect this is. However, ( and this is where the word took on meaning for me)we never seem to consider the non- cultural! What do I mean by this? Well, to tell the truth, I don't really know! And yet I feel that it is very important just as important as deep sleep is in our life. And there is also another aspect to this, and that is the experiencing of the five senses-why is this? (Now this is absolutely not a moralistic statement!)However we seem to spend without rest, our whole lives in these domains, do we need to spend time in some weird retreat? No! But maybe we should give more time to the non-cultural and the nonsensual and perhaps the non-experiential because" experience" plays such an important role in our lives. How to do that? Well, I think that it's the big challenge to find out for ourselves, well let's say that it's my challenge! However, I will say that spending some relaxed time in the natural world is certainly a step in the right direction.
