A Tribute to Pooh …<br />

Part 03: The Meaning of Life<br />

& <strong>the</strong> Meaning in Living<br />

(01/18/2015)<br />

Winnie <strong>the</strong> Pooh's ―fa<strong>the</strong>r‖ -- A. A. Milne -- was born 133 years ago today,<br />

and I honor both him & his creations with this third tribute: a reminder that <strong>the</strong><br />

Meaning of Life is already waiting to be found within all our everyday lives; that<br />

each & every one of us can<br />

simply sit and watch a river<br />

flow by and remember<br />

everything we need to know.<br />

Of course, <strong>the</strong> ―catch‖<br />

here is a large one -- namely,<br />

that <strong>the</strong> great <strong>Wisdoms</strong> we<br />

remember in this way will<br />

mean absolutely nothing to us<br />

unless we get up, grab <strong>the</strong> hand<br />

of our nearest Friend, and set<br />

forth to put <strong>the</strong>m in motion.<br />

―Sometimes, if you stand on <strong>the</strong> bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to<br />

watch <strong>the</strong> river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know<br />

everything <strong>the</strong>re is to be known.‖ ~ inspired by A. A. Milne<br />

―Before beginning a Great Quest, it is wise to ask someone what you are<br />

looking for before you begin looking for it.‖ ~ inspired by A. A. Milne<br />
