Bliss: A Lesson from the Book Club

Dear friends, today I want to share a story with you. A story that taught me a profound lesson about bliss. It’s a tale from many moons ago, during a humble gathering of minds at a Book Club Meeting.

The Gathering

It was a crisp, autumn evening. The leaves were turning golden, and the air was filled with the scent of burning wood. Our book club, a motley crew of voracious readers, was meeting at my old friend, George’s house. The book of the month was “The Old Man and the Sea” by Ernest Hemingway.

The Discussion

As the evening wore on, we delved deeper into the book’s themes. We discussed the old man’s struggle, his perseverance, and his ultimate triumph. It was then that a young member, Tim, posed a question that struck a chord with me. He asked, “What is the old man’s bliss?”

The Revelation

After a moment of silence, I found myself answering, “His bliss is in the struggle, the journey, not the destination.” The room fell silent. It was as if we all had an epiphany at that moment. We realized that bliss isn’t about the end goal or the victory. It’s about the journey, the struggle, the fight. It’s about living each moment to its fullest.

The Lesson

That night, I learned a valuable lesson. Bliss is not a destination, but a journey. It’s not about achieving something, but about experiencing life in all its ups and downs. It’s about finding joy in the little things, the everyday struggles, and the journey of life itself.

So, my dear friends, I urge you to find your bliss. Don’t wait for a grand victory or a momentous occasion. Find joy in the journey, in the struggle, in the everyday. Remember, bliss is not a destination, but a journey.

Until next time, remember to find your bliss in the journey of life.

Yours in wisdom,

Kev
