Enjoy Your Blink...

We spent a few hours yesterday inside a cave - La Cueva de la Pileta. Inside were hundreds of cave paintings...  many dating back to over 30,000 years ago!  Crazy, right?

And afterwards, back outside in the mid afternoon Andalucian sun, we were talking to the guide and an older German couple about the whole timeline.

-  The land pushed itself above water over 200 million years ago... To eventually drain and form the basic cave system.

-  We stood in the cave blown away by the human evidence in front of us from 30,000 years ago...

-  I'm 34...

-  And I'm trying to decide what to do this afternoon...

In the perspective of such vast amounts of time splayed out inside the mountain at my back, I remarked at the inconsequential-ness of all our ideas and worries and plans and regrets...  Someone said, "It's all just a blink".  The small group responded with nods and chuckles of agreement.

In a few moments the conversation ended.  As we said our goodbyes the older German guy said, "Enjoy your blink."

There's a whole lot of wisdom in that amusing little quip...

...Enjoy your blink...
