Comments on: The art of living http://www.topofthemountains.net/2006/05/05/the-art-of-living/ "Hitch your wagon to a star." —Ralph Waldo Emerson Sun, 12 Oct 2008 07:41:29 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0 by: Sean http://www.topofthemountains.net/2006/05/05/the-art-of-living/#comment-711 Mon, 08 May 2006 23:38:31 +0000 http://www.topofthemountains.net/2006/05/05/the-art-of-living/#comment-711 I loved this quote! For me, I sometimes feel like my life is "chopped up" when I am compartmentalizing things: church, work, family, play, etc. I do think grouping things is important for planning, because it helps me try to keep my life in balance as I try to gauge how much time and energy goes toward each area. But each is really a subset of my ultimate goal of becoming a more Christlike individual. I've heard it said that structuring time, not content, is important. Somehow the message of this quote seems relevant to that idea. I loved this quote!

One way is to run around with a butcher knife. Just kidding. :) Um, I don't have an answer to that. I'll think about it and see if I can come up with one...
